Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. • The BSA is part of the international Scout Movement and became a founding member of the Global Scout Movement in 1922 6 Step #1 – Buy the Boy Scout Handbook The following slides includes rank requirements that are high level. You should always reference the Boy Scout Handbook for each specific rank requirements. 8 The Global Symbol of Scouting • The fleur-de-lis is the main element in the logo representing a major theme in Scouting: the outdoors and wilderness. • The three petals or leaves represent the threefold Scout Promise (Duty to God and Country, Duty to Self, Duty to Others) • Robert Baden-Powell, explained that the Scouts adopted the fleur-de-lis symbol from its use in the compass rose because it "points in the right direction (and upwards) turning neither to the right nor left, since these lead backward again." • The two small five-point stars stand for truth and knowledge. Together their ten points represent the ten original Scout laws. • The reef knot or square knot represents the strength of the World of Scouting. • The rope surrounding the fleur-de-lis represents unity of Scouts throughout the world. • The ring holding the petals together represents the bond of scouting brotherhood. 9 Source: 2016 B.S.A.

    Scouting at the Olympics Boy Scouts and Girl Guides as Olympic Volunteers 1912-1998* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Renson — n 1894, Pierre de Coubertin created the modern I Olympic movement and Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scout movement in 1908. Both were educational innovators and creators of universal movements, which aspired to international peace and brotherhood. Although both men were convinced patriots, they shared common ideas about idealistic internationalism. Several idealis­ tic international movements made their appearance in the fin de siècle period, namely the Red Cross (1863), the Esperanto movement (1887), the Olympic movement (1894) and Scouting (1907). The Olympic movement and the Scouting movement were originally exclusively male organizations, which adopted the ideology of chivalry as Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) founded the modern Olympic movement the basis for establishing an idealized transnational iden­ in 1894 and - which is little known - the 'neutral' scout federation Eclaireurs tity (Hoberman 1995). Coubertin was cofounder in 1910 Français in France in 1911 (Painting by Gaétan de Navacelle, courtesy of - with the physicist and winner of the 1908 Nobel-Prize Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français, Paris, in Müller 2000:5). Gabriel Lippmann - of the Ligue d’Education National, the forerunner of the French Boy Scouts and one year later, he founded the neutral’ scouting organization Eclaireurs Français (EF) in 1911 (Kruger 1980). Baden-Powell - like many other Edwardians - was haunted by fears that the British race was deteriorating, both physically and morally, and he therefore promoted outdoor life and the British ideology of sportsmanship, which was also absorbed by Coubertin (Brendon 1979: 239; Rosenthal 1986: 10; 31).

    Life to Eagle Trail Monmouth Council BSA Advancement Team 2017/2018 Life to Eagle Trail Agenda • Purpose • Introduction • Eagle Requirements • Eagle Scout Board of Review (BOR) • Eagle Scout Project Ideas • Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook Life to Eagle Trail Purpose The Trail to Eagle Guide has been prepared by Monmouth Council Advancement Committee to guide and assist scouts seeking to advance from Life rank to the Eagle Scout rank. This Guide outlines the applicable Council procedures and processes, provides helpful hints, and addresses many of the questions that scouts and leaders have about the process. We urge you to read and become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this guide. Life to Eagle Trail Introduction CONGRATULATIONS for earning Life Scout Rank! Look around your Troop – not a lot of heart-shaped badges to be seen, are there? At each stop on Scouting’s Advancement Trail, fewer and fewer Scouts remain from the group you started with as a Tenderfoot Scout. You have traveled high on Scouting’s Trail to Eagle. You are just one step away from the highest and most prestigious rank in Scouting, Eagle Scout. Why should you go on to Eagle? As Sir Edmund Hillary replied when asked why he climbed Mt. Everest, “Because it’s there!” You are so close now that not going on will be the cause of regret in the future. The main reason to continue is for your own personal sense of meeting an enormous challenge – completing the requirements that few earn. Achieving Eagle Scout Rank is a symbol of achievement recognized throughout the country.

  • 2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information
    2020 Massabesic Klondike Derby Rules, Instructions, and Information (Patrol Leaders, Unit Leaders and station staff should read and know before the event. Be aware changes have been made since last year.) The Klondike Derby is a test of scout skills and of the patrol method. If your troop routinely practices traditional scout skills and is “scout-led”, you’ll find nothing unfamiliar with what is expected of you to score well. No matter your score, your participation in this event will help make you a better troop and will strengthen the bonds that make good patrols. Ideally, scouts will learn their strengths and weaknesses and have a fun weekend. We are very proud of all our participants. CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: Senior patrols have been eliminated in favor of a rank handicapping system. In previous years, patrols of higher ranking scouts were segregated into a “senior” division. However, they still completed the same challenges as “regular” patrols at all stations, and typically only a very small number of patrols were identified as a senior patrol. This year all patrols will be handicapped based on the ranks of patrol members, which will level the playing field for all patrols. Details of the handicapping system are described in the scoring section below. Patrols should be “natural” patrols as much as possible; if natural patrols need to be merged to crew a Klondike sled, efforts should be made to average out ranks as much as possible. Troops must submit a patrol roster including each scout’s rank at registration, at which time the patrol’s handicap will be determined.

  • The Crystal Palace Rally by Dorothy Crocker© 2000
    The Crystal Palace Rally by Dorothy Crocker© 2000 Parts and Actions: Crystal Palace - stand, hands overhead, fingertips touching to make a roof, elbows stuck out to sides Robert Baden-Powell - stand very straight, salute with right hand to forehead Boys - jump up and yell, "Hurray!" Girls - jump up, pump arms and shout, "Girl Power!" Narrator: Almost 100 years ago, across the ocean in England, lived a man named Robert Baden-Powell. He was very famous. He had been the leader of English soldiers in a war far away in Africa. During that war he had discovered that Boys could be very useful and do things that grown-ups could not. But when Robert Baden-Powell returned to England he found lots of Boys who got into trouble or were bored because they had nothing exciting to do. Do you know what Robert Baden-Powell never even thought about? He never once thought about Girls! What he did think about was writing a book. He called his book, "Scouting for Boys." It was full of information about things he knew Boys were interested in. It was also full of things Boys could do, especially outdoors, like cooking over an open fire, tracking animals, sleeping in tents and even under the stars. Lots of Boys read Robert Baden-Powell's book, Scouting for Boys. They got together and did the things he suggested in the book. They called themselves Boy Scouts and often got a man to help them. One day in 1909, Robert Baden-Powell invited all Boys anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales to come to London to the Crystal Palace for a rally.

  • Een-Gonyama Gonyama!: Zulu Origins of the Boy Scout Movement and the Africanisation of Imperial Britain
    Een-Gonyama Gonyama!: Zulu Origins of the Boy Scout Movement and the Africanisation of Imperial Britain TIMOTHY PARSONS British imperialists in the late 19th century denigrated non-western cultures in rationalising the partition of Africa, but they also had to assimilate African values and traditions to make the imperial system work.The partisans of empire also romanticised non-western cultures to convince the British public to support the imperial enterprise. In doing so, they introduced significant African and Asian elements into British popular culture, thereby refuting the assumption that the empire had little influence on the historical development of metropolitan Britain. Robert Baden-Powell conceived of the Boy Scout movement as a cure for the social instability and potential military weakness of Edwardian Britain. Influenced profoundly by his service as a colonial military officer, Africa loomed large in Baden-Powell’s imagination. He was particularly taken with the Zulu. King Cetshwayo’s crushing defeat of the British army at Isandhlawana in 1879 fixed their reputation as a ‘martial tribe’ in the imagination of the British public. Baden-Powell romanticised the Zulus’ discipline, and courage, and adapted many of their cultural institutions to scouting. Baden-Powell’s appropriation and reinterpretation of African culture illustrates the influ- ence of subject peoples of the empire on metropolitan British politics and society. Scouting’s romanticised trappings of African culture captured the imagination of tens of thousands of Edwardian boys and helped make Baden-Powell’s organisation the premier uniformed youth movement in Britain. Although confident that they were superior to their African subjects, British politicians, educators, and social reformers agreed with Baden-Powell that ‘tribal’ Africans preserved many of the manly virtues that had been wiped by the industrial age.
