How do you do, fellow kids? 😉

Things I learnt today: During WW1, MI5 used Girl Guides to send secret messages. They used Girl Guides because they quickly found that Boy Scouts couldn’t be trusted and were’t efficient enough.

“At the start of the war Boy Scouts were also used. But it quickly became clear that Girl Guides were more efficient because they were less boisterous and talkative.”

the boy scouts were too gossipy, so they used girl guides as spies instead this is probably the best day of my life

There was an all-woman resistance network operating out of Strasbourg called the ‘Pur-Sang’ and jfc one of the women , Alice Daul, who was captured and sentenced to a concentration camp later escaped and made her way back to France and after the war she ran for local government.
