  • 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.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

  • Retaining Our Young Men in Scouting
    Retaining our Young Men in Scouting A research thesis submitted to the College of Commissioner Science California Inland Empire Council Boy Scouts of America in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree by Craig Murray 2011 PREFACE I have served as a volunteer scouter for over 24 years, mainly as a Scoutmaster and Post/Crew Advisor. I have been fortunate in that I have been a leader at six scouting events in other countries: Brazil, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Austria and Great Britain. During each of these events, I took the time to understand scouting in the host countries, as well as in the countries visiting the events. Over those 24 years, I have observed scouting environments where scouts were motivated to stay involved in scouting, and I have also seen situations where they did not want to stay involved. From my experience and research, I have found that retention is greatest when young adults can retain peer relationships. This thesis will discuss senior scouting history, current problems, survey results taken in a 2011 Philmont Training Center course “Building Strong Packs, Troops, Teams and Crews” and proposed training. 1 Historical Background Even in the very early years of scouting, Baden-Powell (BP) came to realize that the scouting program should address the challenge of boys under 12 being interested in scouting but not being eligible to join, and boys over 16 leaving the program. Incorporating the younger boys into the program was reasonably easy in Great Britain. In 1916, BP started a Wolf Cub program.
