History of Scouting
Scouting was started by a British Army Officer named Robert S.S. Baden-Powell in 1908. He authored a book for his soldiers explaining how to administer first aid, follow trails, and find food and water. Later, Mr. Baden-Powell wrote a Scouting book for boys.
One year later, in 1909, William D. Boyce, a Chicago businessman, was lost in a London fog. A boy helped Mr. Boyce find his way. When Mr. Boyce offered a reward, the boy refused explaining that he was a Scout and could not take money for a good deed. Later, the boy took Mr. Boyce to meet Mr. Baden-Powell who taught him all about Scouting. After learning about Scouting, Mr. Boyce subsequently started the Boy Scouts in the United States on February 8, 1910.
When the Boy Scouts started, it was only for older boys. A lot of younger boys also wanted to become Scouts, so Mr. Baden-Powell started a Wolf Cub program in 1916. In 1929, Cub Scouting began in the United States with the dens meeting weekly, and the pack twice a month. There are now approximately 5 million Cub Scouts in the United States.
Mr. Baden-Powell died on January 8, 1941 in Kenya. Before he died, he wrote a letter to Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts all over the world. In the letter he said, “Try and leave this world a little better than you found it.”
