Boy Scouts

Several camps claim the title but by any reasonable definition the honor goes to Camp Owasippe of the Chicago Area Council near Whitehall Michigan. It was purchased in 1910, constructed in 1911 and held its summer program for scouts in 1912.

Treasure Island Scout Camp outside of Philadelphia (Cradle of Liberty Council) claims the title but was leased and used as a summer camp starting in 1913 and was purchased by the council in 1919.

Camp Teetonkah; located near Jackson, Michigan, (Great Sauk Trail Council); is also a contender with holding scout summer camps since 1913.

No other scout camp was established prior to 1916.

If you mean SPL (Senior Patrol Leader), you have to run for it like a prez race--at least that's how it is in my troop. The candidates announce their candidacy, and we vote. If you mean PL (Patrol Leader), then at the next Green Bar ask your patrol members if you can be PL--that's what I did.

The founder of the scouting movement was lord Robert Baden-Powell, a general of the British army initiated the first scouting camp in 1907.

Yes

Lord Robert Baden-Powell started the Scouting Movement in 1908 in the United Kingdom. He felt that girls should have their own organization, so Robert Baden-Powell chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.

Well, I was a eagle scout & from my experience of boy scouts I would have to say that boy scouts are harder than girl scouts. In boy scouts you have to go to camp outs that are sometimes more than a week long , with girl scouts you have to maybe sometimes go on a camp out that may last at the most 2 days. This doesn't even include the physical requirements a boyscout has to have to make it to a higher rank such as eagle, so i would have to say boy scouts would be harder.

Another perspective: their missions are very different, so it's hard to compare how difficult they are. Girl Scouts progress in leadership skills and plan their own programming as they get older. Boy Scouts also plan program, but it appears that most of the content is set up by the national association. While the path to Eagle Scout or the Gold Award is a rigorous one, not all scouts pursue these goals.

The founder of Girl Guides is Agnes Baden-Powell, the elder sister of the founder of Boy Scouts, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. When Boy Scouts really caught on and girls showed interest in joining, Robert asked Agnes to start a Scout-like program for girls.

Many, but not all, scout associations around the world belong to the WOSM.
