as 1918 by American missionaries
and servicemen. These Scout troops
were directly registered with the
Girl Scouts of the USA.

of a Scout movement for girls, and
requested the assistance of the Boy

In 1939, Mrs. Escoda was sent to the
United States and Britain for training
through the help of Joseph Stevenot of
the BSP.
Upon her return to the Philippines, she
immediately started setting up the GSP

organizations.

under Philippine Commonwealth Act No.
542.

France.
