Subject: Wesley question

What's the British equivelent of the boy scouts? Does anyone think Wesley would have been a member? I can imagine him reading wilderness survival guides and then being completely inept in the field. Lack of confidence because of his overbearing father is the cause, of course.

The Boy Scouts are in something like 52 countries the last time I looked.

The Boy Scouts of America is one among many.

because I think I remember that the Girl Scouts are Girl Guides in England. I wasn't sure if the Boy Scouts also had a different name.

[> The Scouting movement was actually started in England -- fiRechld, 18:33:27 07/17/04 Sat (138.130.217.159)

by Major General Robert Baden-Powell in 1908. His time in the army showed him that young soldiers, while taught to obey orders without thinking, were never properly prepared to deal with situations, if they were ever on their own (and cut off from those orders that they relied on). He started the Scouting movement, and use the initials of his last name to stand for the motto, Be Prepared.

Today the Scouting movement is in more than 160 countries, and has more than 25 million boys and girls as members.
