Birth of Scout Movement

This movement began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell, a British army lieutenant general of the highway, and William Alexander Smith, founder of the Boy's Brigade, held the first scout camp (known as the jamboree) on Brownsea Island, England.

Idemm to make the movement appear when Baden-Powell and his men struggled to defend the city of Mafeking, South Africa, from the Boer army attacks. At that time, his troops defeated than Boer army. To outsmart, a group of young men was formed and trained to become a volunteer army. Their main task is to help the military defend the city. They get lighter tasks but important, for example to deliver a given message Baden-Powell to all members of the military in the city. Can they finish the job so well that Baden-Powell's forces can defend Mafeking town for 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 of Mafeking defend him is considered to be a hero. He later wrote a book called Aids to Scouting (written in 1899), and became a bestseller at the time.

In 1906, Ernest Thompson Seton sent Baden-Powell was 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 develop a plan of a youth movement.

His meeting with Seton was encouraged to 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 different walks of life for a whole week, starting on August 1, at Brownsea island, England. Methods of organization (now known as system patrol or patrol system in English) became the key to scouting training does. This system requires the youth to form several 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. Of his thinking, was made a book called Scouting fo Boys, which today is known as a manual scouting (Boy Scout Handbook) first edition.

At that Baden-Powell hoped his book can provide new ideas for some oraganisasi youth who have been there. But that 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 increased number of members, Baden-Powell increasingly difficult to guide them; He needs an assistant to help him. Therefore, he planned to establish a Center for Leadership Training for Adults (Adult Leadership Training Center). In 1919, a park near London was purchased as a training location. He also wrote a new book entitled Aids to Scoutmastership and several other books which he collected and brought together in a book entitled Rovering to Success for Rover Scouts in 1922.

Although the Scout Movement was founded Baden-Powell, but he was much inspired Frederick Russell Burnham, American org who helped the British in South Africa. Burnham was a lot to learn techniques to live in the wild dr father who was a priest at the shelter (reservations) Indians. Burnham who successfully faced several rebellions Indian war, and then went to South Africa & dg Baden-Powell met in the Boer War. From Burnham was Baden-Powell set a variety of basic ketrampilan2 needful of a Boy Scout (Scout). Inspired Indian org. Furthermore, in the Scout Movement, Burnham was appointed as "chief" of the first movement of Baden-Powell founded. Scout is the game
