Shaun K. Joynson A little known but very fierce battle has been taking place in America fought in the most unlikely of places — the Boy Scouts of America. The fight has been between the religious fundamentalists who appear to be dominating that organisation and secularists and gay rights activists who are trying to fight them off and return scouting in America to its traditionally secular roots. This battle which - according to George Davidson, Legal Counsel of the BSA - has been the cause of '25 years of unrelenting attacks' has reached such a pitch that it has led to attempts to change US law and has even prompted leading American legal experts to hold conferendes to discuss the constitutional implications of the matter. One such conference was held last Wednesday. The soldier at the forefront of this battle was none other than a 13 year old boy. Why was something as innocuous as scouting the setting for such a bitter battle? After all, isn't scouting just that silly club where they make grown men wear shorts and lemon-squeezer hats in order to teach boys how to tie reef knots and help old ladies to cross the road? That might be most people's perceptions in this country - but scouting is more than that and to understand Why, you have to know something of its history. A Daring Social Experiment Most people credit Robert Baden Powell — hero of the siege of Mafeking during the Boer War - with starting Scouting. But he did not. What Baden-Powell did was to carry out a daring social experiment in the summer of 1907. It consisted of his taking 20 boys on a camp held on a small patch of mosquito ridden land on Brownsea Island, just outside Poole Harbour in Dorset. One of the reasons why BP's experiment was so daring was because the boys came from all walks of life. Some were the poorest of the poor from London's East End, while others were from highly privileged backgrounds and attended schools such as Harrow. Once on camp all class differences were set aside and the boys were divided into 4 teams of 5 — called patrols and set to work on a series of teambuilding activities Baden-Powell had designed. His method of dividing up the boys is another example of why this was such a ground-breaking social experiment. The decision to break them up into this number was based on Baden Powell's observations of street gangs. He noticed that boys tended naturally to congregate together in numbers between 5 and 7. Indeed, if you observe the hoodie dressed street gangs that menace our streets today, that still tends to be the case and 'the patrol system' whereby troops of Scouts were divided up into self-contained groups of 5 to 7 Scouts still forms the basis of the Scout method of delivering training. Any teacher will confirm that it is a lot easier to train children in small numbers. Ethical Record, November, 2005 3 The other successful element of this experiment was that it demonstrated the great levelling power of Scouting. It wasn't the case that the high class boys naturally rose to the top of the camp. Very often the best boys turned out to be the poor ones, and again, this is still true, not just for children but for adults as well. For example, in one group I worked alongside four other leaders. Two of those leaders had two university degrees and a masters each, while the third was just finishing her degree. I had been educated at Ruskin College Oxford and the London School of Economics, but the fifth member of the team — our leader, because he deserved to be — was a dyslexic plumber who had left school at 16. So, the unqualified success of that experimental camp prompted Baden Powell to write a book entitled Scouting for Boys in which he listed the training methods he used. The Best Selling Books Of All Time Now here again we see why Scouting is so important. If you look at the list of the best selling books of all time, you will see that the Bible tops the list, closely followed by the Koran. In third place is Chairman Mao's Little Red Book; while in fourth place is Scouting for Boys by Robert Baden-Powell. When it was first released in January 1908, Scouting for Boys was a part work that was intended to be a guide to the kind of activities that youth groups around at the time — like the Christian backed Boys Brigade — could run for their members. However, what happened was that CHILDREN started buying Scouting for Boys in vast quantities. And, they were so excited by it that they set up their own Scout patrols to run the new activities. One child who brought one of the first copies was 14-year-old Harold Price of Chiswick in West London. As a result of reading the book, he formed the 1st Chiswick Scout Patrol with a group of friends. This patrol was so successful that Harold soon found other children demanding to join his new gang. Unable to cope on his own, Harold approached Tom Foley, the organist at his church and a noted outdoorsman, and asked him to become their leader. Tom quickly agreed, but the next problem was to find somewhere to meet. Both being churchgoers, Harold and Tom approached the minister of Chiswick Free Church, where they were both congregants. The church was happy to provide a hall, but only if they could recruit the Scouts as potential believers. However, Harold's circle of friends included Jews, Catholics, Baptists, and some downright heathens. So the offer from the church was tumed down in favour of a room in the basement of a shop owned by Tom Foley's father. And it was in that basement at 468 Chiswick High Road — which today is a funeral director's - where the 1st Chiswick Scout Troop began meeting in September 1908. Open To All Regardless Of Faith Mindful of the diverse nature of his friends, Harold declared that the Troop must always be open to boys - and 90 years later - girls regardless of whether they had 4 Ethical Record, November, 2005 a faith or not. That principle was ingrained into every member of the 1st Chiswick from then onwards, including into myself, when I became their leader in 1994. Sadly, the 1st Chiswick ceased functioning in 2003, and became integrated into a neighbouring group that was started in 1909 by Hubert Martin, a man who later helped spread Scouting around the world.

    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
