An Overview on Scouting

Overview of Scouting

Baden Powell and the founding

of Scouts

Lord Robert Baden-Powell is the founder of the world scouting movement.

His first introduction to Scouting skills was stalking and hunting animals, as well as avoiding teachers, in the nearby woods that were strictly out-of-bounds.

Baden-Powell served the Britain Army and returned a war national hero. On his return, he found his military training manual “Aid to Scouting” had become something of a best-seller, and was used by teachers and youth organisations.

Following a meeting with the founder of the Boys’ Brigade, Baden-Powell decided to rewrite the manual to better suit youth readerships.

In 1907, he held a camp on Brownsea Island for 22 boys of mixed social backgrounds. This was the beginning of the Scouting movement.

Our unit activities 

Recently, we have been busy preparing for the scout's Founders Day.

This ceremony will be taking place during morning assembly, where all of the scouts are to pay respects to the Scouting movement.

This is done by a flag-raising ceremony, where all scouts are present. The patrol leaders and senior patrol leaders will lead the scouts throughout this ceremony.
