Birth Scout Movement
This movement began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general of the British armed forces highway, and William Alexander Smith, founder of the Boy's Brigade, held the first scout camp on Brownsea island, England.
The idea to hold the movement came when Baden-Powell and his men struggled to maintain the city of Mafeking, South Africa, the Boer army attacks. At that time, his army defeated the Boer armies compared. To outsmart, a group of young men formed and trained to become volunteer soldiers. Their main task is to help the military defend the city. They get the tasks mild but important, for example delivering a message that Baden-Powell was given to all members of the military in the city. It may be their job well done, so Baden-Powell's forces can defend the city of Mafeking during the several months. In recognition of the success they get, every member of the volunteer army was given a badge. Picture of the badge is then used as the logo of the international Scouting movement.
The success of Baden-Powell Mafeking made defending the city is considered to be a hero. He later wrote a book called Aids to Scouting (written in 1899), and became the best-selling book at that time.
In 1906, Ernest Thompson Seton Baden-Powell sent a book of his work called The Birchbark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians. Seton, a British-Canadian descent living in the United States, often meeting with Baden-Powell and plan of a youth movement.
Meeting with Seton was encouraged to re-write his book, Aids to Scouting, with a new version, entitled Boy's Patrols. The book is intended as a guide for youth scouting at the time. Then, to test his ideas, he held a camp for 21 young people from various walks of life for a whole week, starting on August 1, Brownsea island, England. Method organization (now known as the patrol system patrol system or in English) became the key to scout training he was doing. This system requires the youth to form small groups, then pointing to one of them to become chairman of the group.
After her book was published and camp behind the success, Baden-Powell went on a tour planned by Arthur Pearson to promote his ideas to the whole of England. From these ideas, was made a book called Scouting For Boys, which is currently known as the scouting handbook (Boy Scout Handbook) first edition.
When Baden-Powell was expecting the book to give new ideas for some oraganisasi existing youth. But what happens, some boys spontaneously formed a new organization and asked Baden-Powell became their mentor. He agreed and began to encourage them to learn and practice and develop their organization was founded.
Along with the growing number of members, Baden-Powell led them increasingly difficult, it will need an assistant to help him. Therefore, he planned to establish a leadership training center for adults (Adult Leadership Training Center). In 1919, a park near London purchased as a training location. He also wrote a new book called Aids to Scoutmastership and several other books which he collected and put together in a book called Roverinng to Success for Rover Scouts in 1922.
