Origins of boy scouting and cub scouting under baden-Powell?
On his return from Africa in 1903, Baden-Powell found that his military training manual, Aids to Scouting, had become a best-seller, and was being used by teachers and youth organisations. Following his involvement in the Boys' Brigade as Brigade Secretary and Officer in charge of its scouting section, with encouragement from his friend, William Alexander Smith, Baden-Powell decided to re-write Aids to Scouting to suit a youth readership. In 1907 Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell England took his first group of boys to Brownsea Island for what he termed an experiment in scouting. He wrote "Scouting for Boys" in 1908 and is commonly credited with starting the World Scouting Movement we know today. Different sources often list either 1907 or 1908 as the date. William Boyce brought Powell's scouting ideas over to the US after encountering scouts in England and founded the BSA in 1910. The other scouting organizations already present in the US quickly folded into the new BSA. Baden-Powell also recognized the need for a girls program and so enlisted his sister, Agnes, to help start the girl guides; and a program for younger boys and so started "Cubbing" about 8 years after starting the Boy Scouts. Cubbing received some resistance in America due to a fear of diverting adult leadership from the Boy Scouts but was finally started there in 1930.
