What are the policies regarding the exemption of all scouts from the CAT?

I believe it involves a constitutional amendment (I think to the West Va constitution - not the US) granting the BSA tax exempt status.

The issue is that the BSA is opening a new high adventure base in West Virginia. They are currently tax exempt but the BSA may engage in some activities there that may cause their tax exempt status to be questioned. This legislation is an effort to allow the BSA to fully operate the Summit Beschel Scout Reserve as they would like without jeopardizing their tax exemption.

Why were the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts founded?

Baden Powell specifically wrote his books because he found his new military recruits were clueless about how to function in the outdoors (hence the name "scouts" - it refers to military scouts).

Several scouting movements were actually established in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The unifying themes are that they looked to stimulate an interest and comfort in outdoors activities, promote good moral values, and give children wholesome activities with which to occupy themselves.

Girl Scouts and Girl Guides were founded because girls also wanted to be Scouts. Baden Powell felt that girls should have their own organization, so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.
