Guide rules
Yet it seems to me that the Guide movement, set up in 1909, seems to have done remarkably well in terms of membership in the UK since its foundation with God and all in its joining oath – apparently numbering some 100,000 volunteers and many more girl members than that, making up its current strength.
Mr McBay’s NSS, on the other hand, set up in 1866, has never prospered nor attracted many members or public support.

In any event, if secular pressure groups such as the NSS are about opposing religious “privilege” in the public square only, and not actually opposing religious belief, I am not at all sure why the NSS is commenting on the Girl Guide oath matter at all.
