Scouting began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell,Lieutenant General in theBritish Army, held thefirst Scouting encampment atBrownsea Island inEngland. Baden-Powell wrote the principles of Scouting in Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier military books, with influence and support ofFrederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa),Seton of theWoodcraft Indians,Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisherPearson. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups each for boys (Cub Scout,Boy Scout,Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide,Girl Guide and Girl Scout,Ranger Guide). The movement employs theScout method, a program of informal education with an emphasis on practical outdoor activities, includingcamping,woodcraft,aquatics,hiking,backpacking, andsports. Another widely recognized movement characteristic is the Scoutuniform, by intent hiding all differences of social standing in a country and making for equality, withneckerchief andcampaign hat or comparable head wear. Distinctive uniform insignia include thefleur-de-lis and thetrefoil, as well asmerit badges and other patches. 2007 marked the centenary of Scouting world wide, with member organizations planning events all over the world in order to celebrate the event. |
