Re: History question: were SCD actually taught to girl guides

Alex,

I do not have my copy of 'An Album for Mrs Stewart' here in the office :) 
but Mrs Stewart was the Guide Commissioner for Argyll and definitely ensured 
that Guides were taught SCD in Scotland (and not ECD). In the early days of 
the Society a number of organisations provided representatives to the 
forerunner fo the old Executive Council including the Guides and these were 
duly listed in the original editions of the books.

At present, Guides are still dancing in Scotland and, indeed, it is doubtful 
if the SCD section of the Perth Music Festival would stil be taking place if 
it were not for the Brownie, Guide and Ranger teams.

Although I learned SCD at school and do not remember ever doing it at 
Guides, I have taught it to (English) Brownies. (7-10year old Guides).
