Happy Anniversary to the Boy Scouts of America! They will be 98 years
old on Friday. Boy Scouting in America began in the United States on
Feb. 8, 1910. Sir Baden-Powell started a scouting group in Great
Britain in 1907. It was brought to the United States in 1910 as the
result of “a good turn” done by a British Boy Scout for William Boyce,
an American businessman. Boyce and others then formed the Boy Scouts of
America in 1910. Boy Scouts began in Barstow in the 1920s. And today it
has been reported there are Boy Scouts in more than 100 countries
around the world.
The Boy Scout goal is to help our youth develop citizenship,
character, leadership and skills that will help them the rest of their
lives. Boy Scouts in all parts of the world learn to do their duty to
God, to their country and to other people.
The Boy Scout Motto is “Be Prepared.” Learning by doing is the
Scout’s way to preparedness and that was translated into the slogan,
“Do a good turn daily.”
This is Boy Scouting Anniversary Week. It is held each year during
the week of the official birthday, Feb. 8. The first day is Boy Scout
Sunday and the boys are encouraged to put on their uniforms and attend
the church of their choice complying with their “duty to God.”
