Girls Can Do Anything – a series by Carmen Petro

Karen studied BA(Ed) Design & Technology with the Institute of Education at the University of Reading and continued to run a Guide unit whilst studying. Although studying full-time, running a home, caring for three young teenage sons, working part-time, and volunteering was all quite a juggle, Karen nonetheless thrived on the challenge. She now also volunteers as the secretary for the local Guide Hall, and has recently started volunteering with Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. Empowering girls With the refrain, "Girls are amazing. So shout it out loud- I'm a girl! I'm fantastic! I'm strong, brave, and proud!", this is a wonderful book to emphasize how girls can be anything and do anything. A diverse selection of girls is represented in the pictures, including wheelchair users, girls wearing head coverings and a girl with no hair at all. What they have in common is that they are all happily absorbed in whatever it is that they wish to do. Our Girlguiding personality has four characteristics that guide how we look and behave. These characteristics support the brand purpose:We’ve updated our iconic trefoil and breathed new life into the way our sections look. Through fun new icons, as well as bold and lively colours, Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers now each have their own distinct identity. Today, we feel more like a family. From Rainbows to Rangers, to young leaders and beyond, we’ve made it clear that Girlguiding is a place where all girls can explore, have fun, and belong. Take a look at what we’ve changed and why. Girls Can Do Anything is a children's picture book written by Caryl Hart and illustrated by Ali Pye.

About our brand | Girlguiding

This Girls Can Do Anything poster came from a 1984 Labour Department programme initiative called, Positive Action Programme for Women. Karen also recalled how the girl was not keen on singing – something which features a lot in Girlguiding meetings – and how they overcame this so she could still join in. We help all girls know' shows that we offer girls a world of possibilities and that we’re helping to shape a future where all girls can be happy, safe, and fulfilled.She said: “I have many memories of the girls I’ve volunteered with over my years with Girlguiding, particularly those who have joined us very shy and have thrived during their time with us. This was achieved by promoting women into apprenticeships. In late 1985 over 300 women had taken up apprenticeships in non-traditional jobs. 1980s By 1981 one-third of married women were in full-time employment, nearly twice the proportion in 1961. Women continued to dominate professions such as nursing and primary teaching, but by 1981 they also accounted for a fifth of lawyers and doctors, compared to 3% a generation earlier. Though separate pay scales for men and women had been abolished in 1972, in 1985 women were still paid 22% less per hour than men. In 1980 the New Zealand Federation of Labour adopted the Working Women’s Charter, sometimes called a ‘bill of rights’ for working women. By the mid-1980s the government’s Employment and Vocational Guidance Service was actively promoting the catch-cry, 'Girls Can Do Anything ’.
