An article from The Bampton Beam discussing the history of the Girl Guide movement in Bampton.A page from The Beam 1991 volume 6 No3 about the Girl Guides
in Bampton. It gives the history of the Girl Guide movement. There is a rather dark picture of Mrs Bullen (wife of Dr Bullen of Bampton) and Mrs Ewings meeting Lady Baden Powell at a Guide Rally. It is thought that the “Bampton Guide and Brownie packs were formed in 1949 by Mrs Margery Bullen who ran them for ten years with the help of Mrs Ewings and Eileen Graham. Mrs Jean
Gascoigne took over the Guides in 1964 and was their leader until 1978. Mrs Meg Daley has been running the Brownies for the past few years assisted by Miss Elizabeth Tanner who was Lieutenant of the Guides before that. Mrs Mavis Clack and the late Mrs Margaret Wythes were Brown Owl and Tawny Owl in the 1970s and before that, Mrs Ham, Mrs Dora Ewings and Mrs Lynne Barber ran the 1stBampton Brownies.” In 1950 at the Remembrance Sunday Ann Spurrett, Dinah Dafter (colour bearer) and Barbara Green represented the Brownies
