Meet Agnes Baden-Powell

This book introduces children (aged 6+) to the remarkable woman who was instrumental is forming the Girl Guide movement. At a time when expectations for girls were limited, Agnes embraced adventure, science, nature, and leadership — and helped create opportunities for girls to do the same.

This engaging children’s book explores:

• Her lively Victorian family life
• Her love of sport, nature, and learning
• Her role in establishing Girl Guiding
• The challenges she faced
• Her lasting legacy in empowering girls worldwide

Written in an accessible and encouraging tone, this book helps young readers understand that leadership can take many forms — and that determination and vision can change the world.

It even has the approval of Agnes’s great niece, Gill Clay:

“I think it’s great! It will be a delightful, inspirational children’s book! Agnes was the most remarkable woman and it’s so good that her talents and achievements are being given due recognition. I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it.”

A wonderful way to introduce the often-overlooked founder of Guiding to a new generation.
