Life-Saving Guards
According to Wikipedia, the Life-Saving Guards-Boys, or the Life-Saving Scouts of the World, was a Boy Scouting organization that operated in the United States starting in 1910.
Salvation Army founder, William Booth, met with Baden-Powell for discussion about a possible Salvationist Scouting program. The Salvation Army thus began its Life-Saving Scouts of the World in 1913 for boys and in 1915 a parallel organisation, Life-Saving Guards, for girls.
