Things I learnt today: During WW1, MI5 used Girl Guides to send secret messages. 

“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 insteadthis is probably the best day of my life

I got How the Girl Guides Won the War last year and it is full of amazing stories.  Far more than just sending messages.In the Polish resistance, in the Kindertransport, in concentration camps.

Great book
