Subject: The Scouting movement was actually started in England
In reply to: Pouncer 's message, "Wesley question" on 11:50:59 07/14/04 Wed

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.
