The History of the Scouting Movement

Hi, I'm WD guys from Chicago, Illinois, and I'm often asked how the Boy Scouts of America got started. Wouldn't it be wonderful to respond with a heroic story about climbing the Himalayas or rafting the upper reaches of the Amazon, but not quite? Otherwise, no man likes to admit it, but I was lost and not in the rugged unexplored wilderness but on the streets of London, but I was lost, sir, how well I seem to have haha, oh, may I be of use? The boy offered to guide me. my destiny grateful for your help I offered you some coins in exchange no thank you sir or please it is a small token of my gratitude I am sorry sir I cannot accept it it is my duty to do a good deed daily your duty As a boy scout, your simple words me They penetrated and I immediately asked about these so-called Boy Scouts, who they were and where they are based, so this way, sir.

Thank you, Owen, sir. I think you'll need this. Thank you God bless you. That morning in London, in the middle of the darkness, a boy of honor stepped forward to light my path, the spark of his simple act grew within me and I remembered that heroism is as necessary on a city street as it is in a desert. unexplored for He didn't care that we were from opposite sides of the ocean or what our differences might be, he saw me as a brother in need and saw that helping me is doing his duty to God at Scout headquarters.

I found a copy of Scouting. Because the voice printed inside the cover was a promise, there was a light and these young men, a light that made them willing to do the right thing at the right time regardless of the consequences, they were becoming men of Honor. I learned that the dawn of this necessary work had begun in Britain with a man known as Lord Baden-Powell. I didn't start exploring, the thing started by itself. The truth is that exploration has been around for centuries and has been practiced by honorable men throughout the centuries. I just took note of something.

You already knew it, from the Knights of King Arthur to the street performers in the sky, people returned from intrepid explorers behind the highest mountains to cross the desert grass to bring out the diesel car of the pilgrims that illuminated the central freedom of the country and left everything behind. consolations for God's ass they stand up for each other their sacred honor the honor of these three men was steeped in the value of what they loved made them who they were I realized that those values ​​could easily be lost or forgotten and just as it was In his time the world today needed men of strong moral character and integrity men who did their duty to God the honor of these men these great men was sacred they had an understanding of honor they were courteous and polite they protected the weak they helped others to live better, they taught themselves to be strong so they could protect their country against enemies, and they stayed strong and healthy so they could be prepared to do all these things at any time and do them well.

They understood that the word Scout means one who watches over others, one who protects others by leading the way that leads to events, seeking a way to foster this pattern of honor among the young people of England. I organized a canvas exploration experiment on Browns Island consisting of 20 boys and with that began the exploration

movement

knowing that the boys of today will become the men of tomorrow. I decided to continue the work of my single friends and started the Boy Scouts in the United States. America's children were hungry for it. Thousands were signing. Across the country, guys like these Americans have never shied away from the challenge or opportunity to stand up for the right words, so it wasn't long before Scouting took root.

Many organizations became partners and sponsored youth

drives. The first in 1913 was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was no surprise to people who knew the president of the church, Joseph F. Smith, for years he had been working to create bridges between people and between different religions spreading into Brotherhood like when he spoke at the cornerstone ceremony of a new Jewish synagogue and ordered that the donation be made to help with its construction or like on the day of his funeral when the Catholic community honored him by ringing the bells of his cathedral while a recession passed through this friendship included Protestant churches and many others and created a basis for working together President Smith taught that we are engaged in an endless battle against sin and worldliness this means that often our position must be unpopular not It is an easy path to travel but we are not alone.

Be united with your neighbor, whether he is a member of our church or not, the man who has that spirit in his heart and maintains it will always be at peace with himself, with his neighbor and at peace. with God, some moments and some people test. Valter I will survive you
