  • Historia-Do-Escotismo.Pdf
    Habilidades Escoteiras 1. Demonstrar que conhece a história do fundador do Movimento Escoteiro, Baden- Powell, destacando os principais marcos de sua vida, incluindo fatos da sua infância, carreira militar e atuação no Escotismo. Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, fundador do Movimento Escoteiro e escoteiro-chefe mundial Se você deseja compreender bem o Escotismo, tem que saber algo sobre o homem que fundou o Movimento Escoteiro, um dos mais autênticos “homens-meninos” que já viveram: - Lord Baden- Powell of Gilwell, Escoteiro-Chefe Mundial, conhecido por todos os Escoteiros pelo apelido afetuoso de “B.-P.”. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell nasceu em Londres, Inglaterra, a 22 de fevereiro de 1857 – no dia em que os americanos celebravam o 125º aniversário de nascimento de George Washington. Seu pai era o Reverendo H. G. Baden-Powell1, professor em Oxford. Sua mãe era filha do Almirante inglês W. T. Smyth. Seu bisavô, Joseph Brewer Smyth, tinha ido como colonizador para New Jersey (América do Norte) mas, voltou para a Inglaterra e naufragou na viagem de regresso. Baden-Powell era, pois, descendente, por um lado, de um Ministro Evangélico, e por outro lado, de um colonizador aventureiro do Novo Mundo. B-P na Juventude Seu pai morreu, quando Robert tinha perto de três anos, deixando sua mãe com sete filhos, dos quais o mais velho não tinha, ainda, quatorze anos. Havia com frequência momentos difíceis para uma família tão grande, mas o amor mútuo entre mãe e filhos ajudava-os a continuar para a frente. Robert viveu uma bela vida ao ar livre com seus quatro irmãos, excursionando e acampando com eles em muitos lugares da Inglaterra.

  • Pfadfinder Aus Wikipedia, Der Freien Enzyklopädie
    Pfadfinder aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Pfadfinder aus verschiedenen Ländern beim World Scout Moot 1996 Ein Pfadfinder ist ein Angehöriger der Pfadfinderbewegung, einer internationalen, unpolitischen Erziehungsbewegung für Kinder und Jugendliche, die nach der Pfadfindermethode arbeitet und Menschen aller Nationalitäten und Glaubensrichtungen offen steht. Ziel der Bewegung ist die Förderung der Entwicklung junger Menschen, damit diese in der Gesellschaft Verantwortung übernehmen können. Das erste experimentelle Pfadfinderlager wurde 1907 von Robert Baden-Powell, einem britischen General, auf dem englischen Brownsea Island durchgeführt. Baden- Powell entwickelte aus den Erfahrungen dieses Lagers die Prinzipien der Pfadfinderbewegung in seinem 1908 erschienenen Buch Scouting for Boys, das bis heute ein wichtiges Grundlagenwerk für die Pfadfinderarbeit ist. In der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts breitete sich die Pfadfinderbewegung auf der ganzen Welt aus. Sie wurde schon nach wenigen Jahren in drei Altersstufen gegliedert, um altersgerechte Lern- und Erlebnisräume zu schaffen. Zur Pfadfinderbewegung gehörten 2006 weltweit mehr als 38 Millionen Kinder und Jugendliche aus 216 Ländern und Territorien in zahlreichen nationalen und internationalen Jugendverbänden, die im Wesentlichen in zwei weltweiten Dachverbänden zusammengeschlossen waren: der World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts und der World Organization of the Scout Movement. Etwa 300 Millionen Menschen haben bis heute der Pfadfinderbewegung angehört. Nur in sechs
