Boy Scouts

The Scout Association of the Bahamas was created in 1913.

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.

get your local rules first and foremost!!!! read and understand them !!! the speed is in the wheels and axles and the car when finished it should weigh the maximum allowed most times it is 5 ounces. DO THE AXLES AND WHEELS FIRST TAKE YOUR UNCUT PINEWOOD DERBY BLOCK and put it in the oven for 1 hour at 200 degrees F to get rid of moistuer. the more time you spend DOES make a BIG difference. get the tools to help at your scout store get extra wheels too- the're cheap remove burrs from the axles, straighten then flare the nail head ( they have this tool at your local boy scout store)and polish the axles til they shine like a mirror. a drill press is great for this. start with 240 grit sand paper and contiue upwards to emery clothe. use the wheel mandrel in the drill press to to get rid of the bumps on the wheels and make it perfectly round. use the hub bevel inside and outside of the wheel. stuff the axle full of graphite using a testor model paint brush set aside. shape the car wedge cars win the most!! get some lead fishing weights or real car wheel weights to get the car up to weight. the car should weigh 4.3 ounces before paint and wheels. prime paint, let dry 24 hrs. lightly sand 800 grit and prime again, let dry 24 hrs. lightly sand paint, let dry 24, sand paint dry, sand paint dry, sand 2000 grit lightly. glue wheels, let dry test for straight drive and adjust as needed

you have to buy another. Any requirements will probably need to be redone unless your leader will sign off on it

The "Leave No Trace" principles have first started becoming commonly articulated in the 1970's and the BSA began advocating for them, at least in certain locations such as the Philmont Scout Ranch almost immediately. The BSA participated in pilot programs in partnership with various organisations in the 1980's

Age appropriate guidelines were adopted and the "BSA Leave No Trace" award established in 2002.

People came here with the idea from Lord Baden Powell who founded the Boy Scouts in 1907.

You need to use the wheels from the kit. They are all the same size.

Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts movement, is often affectionately referred to as "BP." This nickname reflects his initials and is commonly used among scouts and in scouting literature. His contributions to youth organizations and outdoor education have left a lasting legacy, making "BP" a recognizable name in scouting history.

As of 2021, the worldwide scouting membership is estimated to be around 50 million members. This includes both youth and adult volunteers across more than 170 countries, all part of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). Scouting aims to promote youth development, community service, and outdoor skills through a variety of programs and activities. Membership numbers can fluctuate, so it's advisable to check with the official scouting organizations for the most current data.

Technically "The Boy Scouts" [as in Boy Scouts of America] have not let girls in. Girls cannot be Boy Scouts and they cannot earn ranks such as Eagle Scout.

Venturing is a coed older program of the Boy Scouts of America. While it officially started in 1998, it split of from Exploring, keeping the traditional Scouting areas of Outdoors, Sea Scouts, Hobbies, Sports, and Religious in Venturing.

Sea Scouts is the second oldest program in the BSA, starting in 1912, and falls under Venturing. See the Related Link below.

The above is true for Boy Scouts of America, however, around the world, the trend has been toward co-educational scouting programs since 1970. In the United Kingdom, the Scout Association has been co-educational at all levels since 1991.

As to why, the World Organization of the Scouting Movement says that since mixed gender relationships are becoming socially acceptable, especially in school and professional life, Scouting has a role to play in helping young people prepare for that mixed social environment and are encouraging National Scout Associations to use a co-educational approach.

Lady Baden-Powell was Olave, the wife of the founder of the scouting, Lord Baden-Powell. She was also an early leader in the scouting movement holding posts with both her husbands scouting organization and the Girl Guides. 1918 she became the Chief Guide.

American Business, Family Life, Personal Fitness and Personal Management take at least three months. Athletics and Sports takes one season or four months.

The sixer badge for the Chicago Cubs is typically worn on the left side of the player's jersey, above the heart. This badge signifies that the player has achieved a significant milestone, such as hitting six home runs in a season. It serves as a point of pride and recognition for both the player and the team.

The Arrow Of Light is the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform.

Religious knots that are earned as Cub Scouts can also be worn on the Boy Scout uniform but they are actually awarded through the churches in cooperation with the scouts and so not really official scout badges.

No.

In your case, I would convince everyone in the troop to not vote for me on OA election day. Just don't let your parents know. If you don't get elected, it's not like they can do anything about it.

The Boy Scouts of America do not allow adult leaders who are gay. Likewise there is no logical reason to ask a minor if they are gay; they would have to provide that information of their own free will.
