Alice Muriel Gaddum (née Behrens; 23 April 1885 – 28 June 1952)[1] was a British advocate of Girl Guiding and is remembered chiefly for her contribution to the training of adults in the movement. She was the first Guider-in-Charge at Foxlease and Head of Training.[2]

She was the daughter of Sir Charles Behrens and Emily, Lady Behrens.[3]

In 1913, Behrens was persuaded by Helen Malcolm to become the Commissioner for the Guides in Manchester and organise them.[3] In October 1916, after the suggestion of Robert Baden-Powell, she organised the Matlock Conference. Commissioners from around Britain met to share ideas and encourage one another.[4]

Beginning in 1926, Behrens visited Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to promote Guiding. Following her death, she was eulogised in The Times by Lady Baden-Powell:
