| Summary |
Compass revisits social and radical religious movements in Australia's recent past. From the Orange People to the Charismatics ... from Hare Krishnas to young volunteers on Kibbutz ... All were swept up by powerful spiritual beliefs, philosophies or ideals that changed lives, and left a lasting legacy. The Girl Guides began in Britain 100 years ago when a band of girls gate-crashed a Boy Scouts Rally in London demanding a group of their own. The movement spread worldwide and in its Australian heyday boasted 80,000 members helping shape a whole generation of girls, now women. Today Girl Guides still go camping and learn outdoor skills, but they are also focused on climate change, poverty, body image and preventing bullying. They've also ditched references to God and the Queen from their Promise. And, among its newer members are young Muslim girls. So, what values lie at the heart of this 100 year old girls-own group? In a time of gender equality, where anything's possible for a modern Australian girl, what is its enduring appeal?
