20.9 - Moderator's Pet - Lucy- Bookworm's Task: FOXLEASE
In 1922, the Foxlease estate in Hampshire, England was gifted to the Girl Guides, for use as a Training Centre. The Girl Guides initially rejected the gift as they did not have sufficient resources for the upkeep, but the King’s daughter, Princess Mary, was the president of the Girl Guides and gave money from her wedding gifts to furnish and equip Foxlease, and the main house was renamed The Princess Mary House in her honour. Girl Guide/Girl Scout leaders came from all over the world to be trained at Foxlease and 100 years later Girl Guides & Girl Scouts still come to Foxlease for adventure, training friendship and fun.
I have been a Girl Guide for over 40 years now, and it is a huge part of my life - I am a leader with girls aged 10-14 and 14-18. Foxlease remains one of my favourite places to visit.

Select one of the following options:

1) Read a book where the author’s first and last initials can be found in “FOXLEASE”.

2) The motto of Foxlease is: PEACE, VISION, POWER. Read a book with one of the words Peace, Vision or Power intact in the title or subtitle. examples: The Peaceful Season, Vision in White.

3) Read a book about a prominent person in the history of Scouting/Guiding, or relating to scouting/guiding's place in history. This can be anywhere in the world & may include fiction where scouting/guiding is central to the story.

eg: How the Girl Guides Won the War, The First Girl Guide: The Story of Agnes Baden-Powell, Window on My Heart, Lady from Savannah: The Life of Juliette Low, Baden-Powell: Founder of the Boy Scouts.

You might find this list useful: Guides and Scouts NOTE - the book doesn’t have to be on the list - this is to give you some ideas.

REQUIRED: If the Scouting/Guiding link is not clear from the GR description, provide a reference

Yes, absolutely - the story is the same, just a different title!
