About Scouting
Scouting is an international youth movement with a purpose - to give our young people the opportunity to develop as responsible citizens of this planet through an outdoor based programme of fun, friendship and challenges.
The Scout method is making a personal commitment to a simple code of living, the Scout Promise and the Scout Law. It involves active participation in small groups to develop leadership and group skills and individual responsibility.
History Of The Group
In 1907 Major General Robert Baden-Powell (later Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell) took twenty boys on camp to Brownsea Island, near Poole in Dorset. He was trying out an idea that had grown in his mind over many years. At Brownsea Island he saw that his idea of Scouting worked, and in 1908 he published "Scouting for Boys" in fortnightly parts. At once all over England boys took up the idea and formed their own patrols. Then finding that they needed help they asked grown-ups to give a hand, so Scout Troops began to bind these troops together, the Boy Scouts Association was founded in 1908.
