Stamp Information	:	The aim of guiding is "Character development towards happy citizenship, through natural rather than artificial means". The Girl Guide Movement was founded by Lord Baden Powell in 1910. It was introduced in India at Jabalpur where a company was formed in 1911. During the next few years, several other companies sprang up, but these companies were restricted to Anglo-Indian girls and were controlled by the headquarters of the Movement in England. By 1915, the movement had spread to Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, etc., and more than 15 companies had been formed, still controlled from London. In the meantime, several independent companies had been formed for Indian girls. The first was 2nd Poona (Bombay State) started in 1916. It was in October, 1916, that the then Chief Commissioner of Girl Guides in India was authorised to adapt the scheme to Indian conditions and to admit Indian girls. The Al India Girl Guides Association was then formed with a constitution of its own and it became full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1929. This association was amalgamated with the Bharat Scouts and Guides in 1951. The Bharat Scouts and Guides is a unified national organisation - both for boys and girls - and the Guide section is affiliated to the World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts and the Scout Section to the Boy Scouts World Bureau. The main purpose of the Gide Movement is to teach girls how to acquire confidence
