One Hundred Years Ago Today
Posted in One hundred years ago today, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was founded by W. D. Boyce. The Scouting movement was started in the United Kingdom in 1907 by Lord Baden-Powell. Boyce brought Scouting to the US after meeting with “the unknown Scout” in London, many legends springing up around this encounter. From that humble beginning sprang the largest youth movement in the free world.
There are celebrations planned around the country and online on this date. Scouts and Scouters are being encouraged to wear their uniforms on this date. The BSA also has events planned throughout the year in honor of its centennial, with the high point being this Summer’s National Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill. If you see any links to coverage of today’s anniversary events, please add them in the comments. I will try to add some myself as I find them.
Happy Birthday to the BSA!
