  3. History of Scouting • The Beginnings of Scouting Movement • The 20th-century scouting movement was started by Robert Baden-Powell during the Boer War as a series of games and exercises to help men learn to live in the open under difficult conditions • Baden-Powell developed a book called “Aids to Scouting” as a way of training recruits. This book became an instant hit among boys • He conducted his first Boy Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907, and his book “Scouting for Boys” was published in 1908 • In England, Boy Scouts formally started on Jan. 24, 1908 • History of Scouting in the USA • In the United States the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) had been running camps for boys since 1884. • In 1902 Ernest Thompson Seton founded the Tribe of Woodcraft Indians as a boy's organization. Three years later Daniel Carter Beard started a similar society called the Sons of Daniel Boone. • February 8th, 1910 William Boyce, inspired by unknown Scout in London, incorporated BSA working with YMCA and Seton • In 1910, Seton combined B-P “Scouting for Boys” and Woodcraft Manual to publish first BSA Handbook

  5. “The patrol method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop, it is the only way. Unless the patrol method is in operation, you don't really have a Boy Scout troop.” —Robert S. S. Baden-Powell

  6. BSA Service We are also a service organization. Not only do we help others, but we also help each other within BSA.

  7. The Scouts Organization • Patrols • Grouping of six or more boys who work together. Each patrol elects its own boy leader, called a patrol leader. • Troop Youth Leaders • The troop is actually run by its boy leaders. With the guidance of the Scoutmaster and his assistants, they plan the program, conduct troop meetings, and provide leadership among their peers. • Senior patrol leader - top junior leader in the troop. He leads the patrol leaders' council and, in consultation with the Scoutmaster, appoints other junior leaders and assigns specific responsibilities as needed. • Assistant senior patrol leader - fills in for senior patrol leader in his absence. He is also responsible for training and giving direction to the quartermaster, scribe, troop historian, librarian, and instructors.

  8. What does it mean when we say “a boy-led troop”? The BSA's definition is that “empowering boys to be leaders” is the core of Scouting. A Boy Scout troop is a small democracy. With the Scoutmaster's direction, the boys are formed into patrols, plan the troop's program, and make it a reality. WARNING: This may mean things can be more chaotic and disorganized than you might expect.

  9. There are three types of patrols: • Regular patrols • New-Scout patrols • Venture patrols “The object of the patrol method is not so much saving the Scoutmaster trouble as to give responsibility to the boy.” —Robert S. S. Baden-Powell
