Girl Guides

During World War II, Girl Guides in Britain and other countries played a vital role in supporting the war effort by contributing to various
activities and skills. They collected essential materials, raised funds, provided essential services, and even engaged in acts of resistance against Nazi occupation. They also distributed gas masks, whitewashed kerbs so people could find their way in a blackout, kept up morale in bomb shelters with songs, and raised funds to buy ambulances and lifeboats. Girl Guide companies everywhere were involved in national or local activities to help the war effort.
