Posted:admin

The CampOn 29 July, 1907, Bill Harvey, one of the local boatmen, was waiting at the Customhouse Steps in Poole to take Baden-Powell, his nephew, and some of the boys from London set off to Brownsea. They boarded his motor boat Hyacinth and set out on the two-mile crossing to the island. Each boy was given a brass fleur de lys badge which was fastened on to his coat; when he had passed a few tests ( knots, tracking, the Flag) he was given another brass badge to fasten below the first, a scroll with the words “Be Prepared” on it. Kaki scarves were also issuedEach Patrol was assigned an army Tent to sleep in and a fifth tent was used by BP, his nine year old nephew Donald Baden-Powell, who served as his orderly; and his assistant Scoutmasters, an old Army friend named Kenneth McLaren and Percy W. Also on the campsite was an army cook tent and an open-sided marquee tent for shelter in a storm.

Individuals are placed into patrols of six to eight Scouts from many different troops who are of varied ages and experience levels.

BP.’s report on the camp:“The troop of boys was divided up into ‘Patrols’ of five, the senior boy in each being Patrol Leader. This organization was the secret of our success.

Each Patrol Leader was given full responsibility for the behaviour of his patrol at all times, in camp and in the field. The patrol was the unit of work or play, and each patrol was camped in a separate spot. The boys were put ‘on their honour’ to carry out orders. Responsibility and competitive rivalry were thus at once established, and a good standard of development was ensured throughout the troop from day to day. The troop was trained progressively in the subjects of scouting.

Every night one patrol went on duty as night picket – that is, drew rations of flour, meat, vegetables, tea, etc., and went out to some indicated spot to bivouac for the night. Each boy had his greatcoat and blankets, cooking-pot and matches. On arrival at the spot, fires were lit and suppers cooked, after which sentries were posted and bivouac formed.

The picket was scouted by Patrol Leaders of other patrols and myself, at some time before eleven p.m., after which the sentries were withdrawn and picket settled down for the night.” We found the best way of imparting theoretical instruction was to give it out in short installments with ample illustrative examples when sitting round the camp-fire or otherwise resting, and with demonstrations in the practice hour before breakfast. A formal lecture is apt to bore the boys. “The practice was then carried out in competitions and schemes.“For example, take one detail of the subject, ‘Observation’ – namely tracking.1.

At the camp-fire overnight we would tell the boys some interesting instance of the value of being able to track.2. Next morning we would teach them to read tracks by making foot-marks at different places, and showing how to read them and to deduce their meaning.3. In the afternoon we would have a game, such as ‘deer- stalking’, in which one boy went off as the ‘deer’, with half a dozen tennis balls in his bag. Twenty minutes later four ‘hunters’ went off after him, following his tracks, each armed with a tennis ball. The deer, after going a mile or two, would hide and endeavour to ambush his hunters, and so get them within range; each hunter struck with his tennis ball was counted gored to death; if, on the other hand, the deer was hit by three of their balls he was killed.”.

After the CampBaden-Powell took what he had learnt from the camp and spent the next few months writing “Scouting for Boys” with the plan that it would provide a tailored training programme for use by other organisations. Initially published in January 1908 as a series of six booklets “Scouting for Boys” was supported by a lecture tour given by Baden-Powell. By the end of the month the response to the book and lectures was so great Baden-Powell became convinced of the need for a separate organisation dedicated to delivering the activity programme. An announcement was made to this effect at a YMCA HQ in Birkenhead, the Boy Scouts were born, within two years there would be over 100,000 Scouts in the UK.Some of the twenty boys who had attended the camp took up Scouting following the publication of “Scouting for Boys”.

The boys were of the generation whose lives would be swept up by the First World War. Of the 19 boys who were still alive in 1914 five died during the War and a sixth died prematurely due to the effects of gas poisoning.

Various reunions were held for the Brownsea boys including one to mark Scouting’s 21st birthday at the “Coming of Age” World Scout Jamboree held in Birkenhead in 1929.

In August 1907, he gathered about 20 boys and took them to Brownsea Island in a sheltered bay off England's southern coast. They set up a makeshift camp that would be their home for the next 12 days.

Thurman's Games.Baden Powell during the Boer War Scouting’s history goes back to the turn of the 20th century to a British Army officer, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell. While stationed in India, he discovered that his men did not know basic first aid or the elementary means of survival in the outdoors. Baden-Powell realized he needed to teach his men many frontier skills, so he wrote a small handbook called Aids to Scouting, which emphasized resourcefulness, adaptability, and the qualities of leadership that frontier conditions demanded. After returning from the Boer War, where he became famous by protecting the small town of Mafeking for 217 days, Baden-Powell was amazed to find that his little handbook had caught the interest of English boys.

They were using it to play the game of scouting. Baden-Powell had the vision to see some new possibilities, and he decided to test his ideas on boys.In August 1907, he gathered about 20 boys and took them to Brownsea Island in a sheltered bay off England’s southern coast. They set up a makeshift camp that would be their home for the next 12 days. The boys had a great time! They divided into patrols and played games, went on hikes, and learned stalking and pioneering. They learned to cook outdoors without utensils.Scouting began on that island and would sweep the globe in a few years.

The next year, Baden-Powell published his book Scouting for Boys, and Scouting continued to grow.That same year, more than 10,000 Boy Scouts attended a rally held at the Crystal Palace; a mere two years later, membership in Boy Scouts had tripled. American Origins About this same time, the seeds of Scouting were growing in the United States.

On a farm in Connecticut, a naturalist and author named Ernest Thompson Seton was organizing a group of boys called the Woodcraft Indians; and Daniel Carter Beard, an artist and writer, organized the Sons of Daniel Boone. In many ways, the two organizations were similar, but they were not connected. The boys who belonged had never heard of Baden-Powell or of Boy Scouts, and yet both groups were destined to become Boy Scouts one day soon.Reinact this story with your Pack using the script at the end of this article But first, an American businessman had to get lost in the fog in England. Chicago businessman and publisher William D. Old-time Scouting Games Played At Brownsea Island From LondonBoyce was groping his way through the fog when a boy appeared and offered to take him to his destination. When they arrived, Boyce tried to tip the boy, but the boy refused and courteously explained that he was a Scout and could not accept payment for a Good Turn.

The “unknown Scout” who helped him in the fog was never heard from again, but he will never be forgotten. His Good Turn is what brought Scouting to our country. After the incorporation of the BSA, a group of public-spirited citizens worked to set up the organization. Seton became the first Chief Scout of the BSA, and Beard was made the national commissioner.James E West, BSA’s first Executive Director The first executive officer was James E. West, a young man from Washington who had risen above a tragic boyhood and physical disability to become a successful lawyer. He dedicated himself to helping all children to have a better life and led the BSA for 32 years as the Chief Scout Executive. Scouting has grown in the United States from 2,000 Boy Scouts and leaders in 1910 to millions strong today.

From a program for Boy Scouts only, it has spread into a program including Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers. Although Scouting has changed over the years, the ideals and aims have remained the same: character growth, citizenship training, and personal fitness.Scouting is updated periodically to keep pace with a changing world. It isn’t the same as it was on Brownsea Island in 1907, but the ideals are still based on principles that Baden-Powell had been taught as a boy.Scouting’s founder was never able to completely overcome his surprise at Scouting’s worldwide appeal. As it swept the globe, Scouting brought him new adventures and responsibilities as Chief Scout of the World. He traveled extensively and kept in touch with Scouting around the world. Baden Powell’s grave in Kenya (note the trail sign “gone home” circle with a dot in center) Eventually, Baden-Powell’s health began to fail.He set up a winter home at Nyeri, Kenya, in 1938, where he spent his remaining years until his death in 1941.

Scouts of different races carried him to his final resting place in the small cemetery at Nyeri.His grave is marked with a simple headstone that bears his name and the Scout sign for “I have gone home.” Today, in Westminster Abbey, a tablet records his name, along with the names of some of the greatest Britons of all time. After Baden-Powell’s death, a letter was found in his desk that he had written to all Scouts. It included this passage: “Try and leave this world a little better than you found it.” These words are a fitting epitaph, for as he won the respect of the great by his strength, he won the hearts of youth by his example.Skit for Pack Meetings. Boyce and the Good Turn (Adapted from Trapper Trails Pow Wow, 2003) Characters: Someone dressed as William D. Boyce in hat and coat carrying an umbrella and briefcase; one Scout in full uniform, carrying a lantern with “Good Turn” written on it; narrator; other Scouts can be Londoners hurrying past Mr. NARRATOR: It is a foggy night in London.

The year is 1909.An American businessman is lost in the fog. BUSINESSMAN: I don’t think I can find my way tonight. SCOUT: May I help you, sir? BUSINESSMAN: I am looking for this address.

Can you tell me where to find it? SCOUT: I will take you there.(The Scout leads the businessman to center stage.) SCOUT: Here you are, sir. BUSINESSMAN: Thank you, and here you are (holding out money) for helping me. SCOUT: Thank you, sir, but I can’t accept anything. I am a Scout, and this is a Good Turn. NARRATOR: The gentleman was W.D. He respected the values shown by the Scout and was so impressed with this action that he looked up the Scouting movement in England.He brought back to America a suitcase full of Scouting information.

He incorporated the Boy Scouts of America on Feb.The “unknown Scout” who helped him in the fog was never heard from again, but he will never be forgotten. That Scout’s Good Turn is what brought Scouting to our country.Scouting's history goes back to the turn of the 20th century to a British Army officer, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell.

Intrigued, the publisher questioned the boy and learned more about Scouting. He visited with Baden-Powell as well and became captured by the idea of Scouting. When Boyce boarded the transatlantic steamer for home, he had a suitcase filled with information and ideas.And so, on February 8, 1910, Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America.

It isn’t the same as it was on Brownsea Island in 1907, but the ideals are still based on principles that Baden-Powell had been taught as a boy.Scouting’s founder was never able to completely overcome his surprise at Scouting’s worldwide appeal. As it swept the globe, Scouting brought him new adventures and responsibilities as Chief Scout of the World. He traveled extensively and kept in touch with Scouting around the world.

Boyce and the Good Turn (Adapted from Trapper Trails Pow Wow, 2003) Characters: Someone dressed as William D. Boyce in hat and coat carrying an umbrella and briefcase; one Scout in full uniform, carrying a lantern with “Good Turn” written on it; narrator; other Scouts can be Londoners hurrying past Mr. NARRATOR: It is a foggy night in London.
The year is 1909.An American businessman is lost in the fog. BUSINESSMAN: I don’t think I can find my way tonight. SCOUT: May I help you, sir? BUSINESSMAN: I am looking for this address.
Can you tell me where to find it? SCOUT: I will take you there.(The Scout leads the businessman to center stage.) SCOUT: Here you are, sir. BUSINESSMAN: Thank you, and here you are (holding out money) for helping me. SCOUT: Thank you, sir, but I can’t accept anything. I am a Scout, and this is a Good Turn. NARRATOR: The gentleman was W.D. He respected the values shown by the Scout and was so impressed with this action that he looked up the Scouting movement in England.He brought back to America a suitcase full of Scouting information.
He incorporated the Boy Scouts of America on Feb.The “unknown Scout” who helped him in the fog was never heard from again, but he will never be forgotten. That Scout’s Good Turn is what brought Scouting to our country.Scouting\'s history goes back to the turn of the 20th century to a British Army officer, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell. While stationed in India, he discovered that his men did not know basic first aid or the elementary means of survival in the outdoors.
Baden-Powell realized he needed to teach his men many frontier skills, so he wrote a small handbook called Aids to Scouting, which emphasized resourcefulness, adaptability, and the qualities of leadership that frontier conditions demanded. Brownsea Island HistoryAfter returning from the Boer War, where he became famous by protecting the small town of Mafeking for 217 days, Baden-Powell was amazed to find that his little handbook had caught the interest of English boys. They were using it to play the game of scouting. Baden-Powell had the vision to see some new possibilities, and he decided to test his ideas on boys.
In August 1907, he gathered about 20 boys and took them to Brownsea Island in a sheltered bay off England\'s southern coast. They set up a makeshift camp that would be their home for the next 12 days. The boys had a great time!They divided into patrols and played games, went on hikes, and learned stalking and pioneering. They learned to cook outdoors without utensils. Scouting began on that island and would sweep the globe in a few years.
The next year, Baden-Powell published his book Scouting for Boys, and Scouting continued to grow. That same year, more than 10,000 Boy Scouts attended a rally held at the Crystal Palace; a mere two years later, membership in Boy Scouts had tripled.Scouting comes to America About this same time, the seeds of Scouting were growing in the United States.
On a farm in Connecticut, a naturalist and author named Ernest Thompson Seton was organizing a group of boys called the Woodcraft Indians; and Daniel Carter Beard, an artist and writer, organized the Sons of Daniel Boone. In many ways, the two organizations were similar, but they were not connected.The boys who belonged had never heard of Baden-Powell or of Boy Scouts, and yet both groups were destined to become Boy Scouts one day soon. But first, an American businessman had to get lost in the fog in England.Chicago businessman and publisher William D. Boyce was groping his way through the fog when a boy appeared and offered to take him to his destination. When they arrived, Boyce tried to tip the boy, but the boy refused and courteously explained that he was a Scout and could not accept payment for a Good Turn.
Intrigued, the publisher questioned the boy and learned more about Scouting. He visited with Baden-Powell as well and became captured by the idea of Scouting. When Boyce boarded the transatlantic steamer for home, he had a suitcase filled with information and ideas.And so, on February 8, 1910, Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America. The \'unknown Scout\' who helped him in the fog was never heard from again, but he will never be forgotten. His Good Turn is what brought Scouting to our country.
After the incorporation of the BSA, a group of public-spirited citizens worked to set up the organization. Seton became the first Chief Scout of the BSA, and Beard was made the national commissioner.The first executive officer was James E. West, a young man from Washington who had risen above a tragic boyhood and physical disability to become a successful lawyer. He dedicated himself to helping all children to have a better life and led the BSA for 32 years as the Chief Scout Executive. Scouting has grown in the United States from 2,000 Boy Scouts and leaders in 1910 to millions strong today.

...'>Old Time Scouting Games Played At Brownsea Island(06.05.2020)
The CampOn 29 July, 1907, Bill Harvey, one of the local boatmen, was waiting at the Customhouse Steps in Poole to take Baden-Powell, his nephew, and some of the boys from London set off to Brownsea. They boarded his motor boat Hyacinth and set out on the two-mile crossing to the island. Each boy was given a brass fleur de lys badge which was fastened on to his coat; when he had passed a few tests ( knots, tracking, the Flag) he was given another brass badge to fasten below the first, a scroll with the words “Be Prepared” on it. Kaki scarves were also issuedEach Patrol was assigned an army Tent to sleep in and a fifth tent was used by BP, his nine year old nephew Donald Baden-Powell, who served as his orderly; and his assistant Scoutmasters, an old Army friend named Kenneth McLaren and Percy W. Also on the campsite was an army cook tent and an open-sided marquee tent for shelter in a storm.
The ProgrammeEach day had a different theme camping, observation, wood craft and so on. Under camping such things as how to make a natural shelter out of branches, twigs and leaves, knotting, fire lighting and cooking were undertakenBelow is an outline of the program which BP produced for the camp. (taken from 75 years of Scouting a Scouting Magazine supplement 1982DAY 1 – PreliminaryAfter settling into camp, formation of patrols and distribution of duties, orders etc each subject of the camp was explained with demonstrations. Patrol Leaders received a special course of instruction in the field for them to impart subsequently to their PatrolsDAY 2 – CampingCamp resourcefulness. Hut and mat making. Knots, Fire-lighting, cooking, health and sanitation. Finding way in strange country.

Flags, medals. Duties as citizens. Helping Police etc.DAY 8 – GamesSports comprising games or competitive practices in all subjects of the campThe daily programme was as follows.
It is an outdoor adventure for individual boys based upon the original Scout camp conducted by Lord Baden-Powell in 1907 on Brownsea Island. The methods he tested at this camp became the core of the Scouting program. Individuals are placed into patrols of six to eight Scouts from many different troops who are of varied ages and experience levels.

BP.’s report on the camp:“The troop of boys was divided up into ‘Patrols’ of five, the senior boy in each being Patrol Leader. This organization was the secret of our success.
Each Patrol Leader was given full responsibility for the behaviour of his patrol at all times, in camp and in the field. The patrol was the unit of work or play, and each patrol was camped in a separate spot. The boys were put ‘on their honour’ to carry out orders. Responsibility and competitive rivalry were thus at once established, and a good standard of development was ensured throughout the troop from day to day. The troop was trained progressively in the subjects of scouting.
Every night one patrol went on duty as night picket – that is, drew rations of flour, meat, vegetables, tea, etc., and went out to some indicated spot to bivouac for the night. Each boy had his greatcoat and blankets, cooking-pot and matches. On arrival at the spot, fires were lit and suppers cooked, after which sentries were posted and bivouac formed.
The picket was scouted by Patrol Leaders of other patrols and myself, at some time before eleven p.m., after which the sentries were withdrawn and picket settled down for the night.” We found the best way of imparting theoretical instruction was to give it out in short installments with ample illustrative examples when sitting round the camp-fire or otherwise resting, and with demonstrations in the practice hour before breakfast. A formal lecture is apt to bore the boys. “The practice was then carried out in competitions and schemes.“For example, take one detail of the subject, ‘Observation’ – namely tracking.1.

At the camp-fire overnight we would tell the boys some interesting instance of the value of being able to track.2. Next morning we would teach them to read tracks by making foot-marks at different places, and showing how to read them and to deduce their meaning.3. In the afternoon we would have a game, such as ‘deer- stalking’, in which one boy went off as the ‘deer’, with half a dozen tennis balls in his bag. Twenty minutes later four ‘hunters’ went off after him, following his tracks, each armed with a tennis ball. The deer, after going a mile or two, would hide and endeavour to ambush his hunters, and so get them within range; each hunter struck with his tennis ball was counted gored to death; if, on the other hand, the deer was hit by three of their balls he was killed.”.

After the CampBaden-Powell took what he had learnt from the camp and spent the next few months writing “Scouting for Boys” with the plan that it would provide a tailored training programme for use by other organisations. Initially published in January 1908 as a series of six booklets “Scouting for Boys” was supported by a lecture tour given by Baden-Powell. By the end of the month the response to the book and lectures was so great Baden-Powell became convinced of the need for a separate organisation dedicated to delivering the activity programme. An announcement was made to this effect at a YMCA HQ in Birkenhead, the Boy Scouts were born, within two years there would be over 100,000 Scouts in the UK.Some of the twenty boys who had attended the camp took up Scouting following the publication of “Scouting for Boys”.
The boys were of the generation whose lives would be swept up by the First World War. Of the 19 boys who were still alive in 1914 five died during the War and a sixth died prematurely due to the effects of gas poisoning.
Various reunions were held for the Brownsea boys including one to mark Scouting’s 21st birthday at the “Coming of Age” World Scout Jamboree held in Birkenhead in 1929.
