a. INTRODUCTION:

It was in 1906 when Lord Stephenson Smith Baden Powell initiated the scouting movement to foster and
develop independence, discipline and love of nature to young boy. Three years later, at the memorable
crystal palace rally of the Boyscouts in England , a group of uniformed , self-styled Girlscouts appealed to
Lord BP to form a similar movement for girls. Since then, scouting made a great impact to young boys and
girls alike. This very day, we are celebrating a memorable moment in a boy or girl’s life: to be welcomed into
the boyscout and girlscout organization.
