    Administrative history

    The Girl Guides was originally formed in England in 1909 by Agnes Baden-Powell to provide girls with the same opportunity for personal development that the Boy Scouts provided for boys. The Girl Guides were intended to teach girls to think for themselves, to be prepared for all circumstances, and to develop an appreciation for camping and the outdoors. Within the Girl Guides, there are three levels, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers, in which girls participate according to their age and achievements. The first Girl Guides group in Canada was established in 1910. On February 9, 1938, a meeting was held by Richmond residents, with the assistance of East Point Grey District Commissioner Miss R. McArthur and BC Deputy Commisioner Mrs. Moxon, at Richmond Junior High School to form the Richmond Girl Guides Association. The Richmond Girl Guides Association was registered at a later date. In 1955, the Richmond Girl Guides became a division of the Vancouver-Fraser Area of the Vancouver Council of Girl Guides. In 1967, the Richmond Area was formed within the Vancouver Council, and consisted of two divisions, Centennial and Heritage, each of which contained several districts. Due to the size of the Vancouver Council, in 1971 the Fraser Delta Area was created as an area separate from the Vancouver Council. In addition to retaining the two divisions that had existed within the former Richmond Area, the Fraser Delta Area created a third division, Westport, at the time of its founding. In 1975 the Massey Division was created. In 1985 divisions were eliminated from the Girl Guides organizational structure, and the district became the organizational unit within each area. Each area has an executive council responsible for the administration of the area.
