  • The History of the Scout Wood Badge
    The set of six wood beads belonging to Robert Baden-Powell The history of the Scout Wood Badge The Scouts (UK) Heritage Service December 2018 Since September 1919 adult volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge on the completion of their leader training. The basic badge is made up of two wooden beads worn at the end of a leather lace. This iconic symbol of Scouting has become shrouded in myths and its origins and development confused. Having completed extensive research using the Scouts (UK) heritage collection we have pieced together the story. The components of the Wood Badge: The Wood Badge’s design took inspiration from a necklace brought back from Africa by Scouting’s Founder, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1888 Baden-Powell was serving with the British Army in Africa. During this period Baden-Powell visited an abandoned camp where Chief Dinizulu, a local chief had been based. In 1925 Baden-Powell recalled what he found, ’In the hut, which had been put up for Dinizulu to live in, I found among other things his necklace of wooden beads. I had in my possession a photograph of him taken a few months beforehand in which he was shown wearing this necklace round his neck and one shoulder.’1 Assuming the necklace was the same one as in the photo Baden-Powell took the necklace as a souvenir of the campaign and always referred to it as Dinizulu’s necklace. Baden- 1 How I obtained the necklace of Dinizulu, told by the Chief Scout, 1925 – the Baden-Powell papers Powell admired Dinizulu describing him as “full of resources, energy and pluck,” characteristics which he would later call upon Scouts to develop.

  • Scout Uniform, Scout Sign, Salute and Handshake
    In this Topic: Participation Promise and Law Scout Uniform, Scout Salute and Scout Handshake Scouts and Flags Scouting History Discussion with the Scout Leader Introducing Tenderfoot Level The Journey Life in the Troop is a journey. As in any journey one embarks on, there needs to be proper preparation for the adventure ahead. This is important so as to steer clear of obstacles and perils, which, with good foresight, can often be avoided. As Scouts we follow our simple motto: Be Prepared! With this in mind you can start your preparations for the journey ahead… The Tenderfoot This level offers a starting point for a new member in the troop. For those Cubs whose time has come to move up from the pack, the Tenderfoot level is a stepping stone linking the pack with the troop. For those scouts who have joined from outside the group, this will be the beginning of their scouting life. How do I achieve this level? The five sections in this level can be done in any order. If you are a Cub Scout moving up from the pack, you will have already started the Cub Scout link badge. The Tenderfoot level is started at the same time. As you can see some of the requirements are the same for both awards. If you have just joined the scouting movement as part of the troop, this level will provide you with all the basic information to help you learn what scouting is all about. Look at the sheet on the next page so that you are able to keep track of your progress.

  • Boy Scout Joining Requirements
    Other Joining Requirements from page 4 of the Boy Scout Handbook Demonstrate the Scout Sign, Salute, and Handshake Scout Sign The Scout sign shows you are a Scout. Give it each time you recite the Scout Oath and Law. When a Scout or Scouter raises the Scout sign, all Scouts should make the sign, too, and come to silent attention. To give the Scout sign, cover the nail of the little finger of your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your right arm bent in a 90-degree angle, and hold the three middle fingers of your hand upward. Those fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. Your thumb and little finger touch to represent the bond that unites Scouts through out the world. Scout Salute The Scout salute shows respect. Use it to salute the flag of the United States of America. You may also salute a Scout leader or another Scout. Give the Scout salute by forming the Scout sign with your right hand and then bringing that hand upward until your forefinger touches the brim of your hat or the arch of your right eyebrow. The palm of your hand should not show. Scout Handshake The Scout handshake is made with the hand nearest the heart and is offered as a token of friendship. Extend your left hand to another Scout and firmly grasp his left hand. The fingers do not interlock. Describe the Scout Badge The badge is shaped like the north point on an old compass. The design resembles an arrowhead or a trefoil – a flower with three leaves.

    Bulletin No 21 January 2011 AN UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME 3½ YEARS AGO http://www.scouting.org.za/capewest/latest/scars.html W ESTERN CAPE Scouts Cubs and Rovers SCAR World Jamborees and their Stories 1st WORLD JAMBOREE – 1920 Develop World Peace Olympia, London, England, 1920. 8 000 Scouts from 34 countries represented at the roll call. The location was a huge glass-roofed building covering six acres. The concrete floor had to be covered with earth for competitions. Some non-Scout participants: an alligator from Florida, a baby crocodile from Jamaica, a lioness cub from Rhodesia, monkeys from South Africa, a baby elephant and a camel. Baden-Powell is acclaimed the ‘Chief Scout of the World’. He said, "If it be your will, let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop, among ourselves and our boys, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood, so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men." Main ‘wet’ camp was at the Deer Park in Richmond.. 2nd WORLD JAMBOREE – 1924 World Citizenship Ermelunden, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1924. Innovations: a week's home hospitality for Scouts after the event; the World Scout Championship. Problems: too many visitors and a deluge! B-P named ‘Baden Meister’ (Danish for ‘bathing master’). 4 549 wet Scouts from 33 countries are accommodated by the public for a night. Awards for different contests distributed by B-P at the Copenhagen Stadium. This Jamboree showed that Scouting was not just a game, but that it made a significant contribution towards education in world citizenship.

Baden-Powell holds an experimental camp on Brownsea Island, Poole Harbour, to see if his ideas on the training of boys work. The camp, at which there are four patrols of five each, some belonging to the Boys’ Brigade, others sons of friends of B.-P’s, is a happy success. The Patrols wear shoulder knots of coloured wool, the Bulls green, Curlews yellow, Ravens red, and Wolves blue. The boys wear shorts, which is very unusual, and a fleur-de-lys badge.

    LAS DOS VIDAS DEL HÉROE Digitalizado por “EL ARTE DE LOS BOSQUES” www.internet.com.uy/scoutuy/woodcraft Apéndices del libro “Las dos vidas del héroe” EL SCOUT MODELO DEL MUNDO por Nelson R. Block Editor de la “Revista Histórica del Escultismo” Baden-Powel nos dejó en “Roverismo hacia el Exito” una descripción de su versión de un Scout modelo: EL ROVER: UN HOMBRE DE LO PROFUNDO DEL BOSQUE Al escribir estas líneas, hay acampando en mi jardín un ejemplo vivo de lo que yo espero que, en amplia escala, sea el resultado de este libro. Así lo espero, con todo mi corazón. Es un Rover Scout de unos dieciocho años, que se está adiestrando para ser un hombre. Ha hecho una larga excursión con su morral a cuestas, en el que lleva una tienda liviana, su cobija, olla para cocinar y alimentos. Porta con él su hacha y una cuerda. Yen su mano un útil bordón con una cabeza tallada, hecha por él mismo. Además de esta carga, lleva consigo algo que es todavía más importante: una sonrisa feliz dibujada en su cara tostada por el clima. Anoche durmió con un viento y frío inclementes, a pesar de que le di a escoger dormir bajo techo. Simplemente observó, con una sonrisa, que habla sido un caluroso verano, y que un poco de viento frío era un cambio que seria provechoso. Es amante riel aire libre. Cocinó sus propios alimentos y se preparó un abrigo con todos los recursos de un viejo acampador.- Hoy ha estado mostrando a nuestros Scouts locales cómo utilizar el hacha con más efectividad, y les demostró que puede ensogar” un hombre, sin fallar, con su lazo.
