Student Scout and Guide Organisation
open-in-new
<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>Informal Scout and Guide Clubs existed as early as 1915 when the first generation of Scouts grew out of the Scouting age yet wanted to keep some sense of fraternity. Some early organisations at colleges were known as <a href="/facts/Scout_Active_Support/Mh1b86dK"><i>Baden-Powell Guilds</i></a> and <i>Saint George Guilds</i>. A world equivalent to this exists today in the <a href="/facts/International_Scout_and_Guide_Fellowship/54haXUgk">International Scout and Guide Fellowship</a>, or ISGF. Some of the first clubs were set up in university towns, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, and London. Inter-club activities were run intermittently until 1927. By 1920, <a href="/facts/Rover_Scouts/rRATwPvJ">Rover Scouts</a> had been set up for people over 18 but many people were also part of Scout and Guide clubs. University clubs banded together to form an Inter-Varsity organisation while College-based clubs formed a similar setup. It was not until 1947 that inter-club meetings started again, and even then only for the Varsity clubs (those from universities, rather than colleges). Only two colleges (Loughborough and North Staffordshire) were admitted to Varsity. No other colleges were admitted, partially because of snobbery in the old red-brick establishments. The Federation of Scout and Guide Clubs in Training Colleges was set up in 1956 for colleges, and a year later it formed the Intercollegiate organisation. In 1967, the Intercollegiate and Inter-Varsity merged to form SSAGO due to the dwindling number of colleges as many became universities. </p><p>SSAGO was 40 in 2007, to celebrate this event a special emblem was designed and the Summer Rally was replaced with a Reunion Event held near Lincoln in July. While this event was run as a Rally there were some noticeable differences; there were fireworks on Friday night, all members old, and new, and SAGGA (who themselves are celebrating their 50th Anniversary) were invited to attend along with visits from prestigious guests such as Liz Burnley the current Chief Guide. </p><p>United Kingdom Scout and Guide Clubs and Rovers Crews were responsible for establishing an international Student Scout and Guide event called the Witan, named after the <a href="/facts/History_of_Anglo-Saxon_England/V25yYLrM">Anglo-Saxon</a> gathering of the wise called a <a href="/facts/Witenagemot/t9yWUVVs">Witan</a>. The first two such events were organised by the <a href="/facts/Oxford_University_Scout_and_Guide_Group/pRvQFvtR">Oxford University Scout and Guide Group</a> at <a href="/facts/Gilwell_Park/eQmRglaw">Gilwell Park</a> in 1959 and 1961.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="rally">Rally</h2> <p>Rally is a national camp, held once every term where SSAGO clubs around the UK meet up to socialize and participate in a weekend of activities. The size of a rally can vary from around 100 to over 250 people. The three rallies are held each year in February, June, and November and, as they are hosted by different clubs each time, they offer an opportunity for participants to visit new places. The host club for each rally is chosen at the previous year's national SSAGO AGM. </p><p>Each rally has a theme chosen by the host club, which is incorporated into the rally through the different activities on offer across the weekend. Often, this includes experiences such as walks or hikes, on-site activities, visits to nearby attractions, or simply an afternoon off with which to explore. In addition, rallies can also include a <a href="/facts/C%25C3%25A8ilidh/tKULUQUj">ceilidh</a> and themed fancy-dress competition.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a>

Balls offer a packed evening program, giving everyone a chance to make new friends, catch up with old ones and have a great night outside of the campsite.
