Scouting began as an inspired idea of an inspiring man, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell, later

called Lord Baden Powell or simply BP to millions of Scouts, and always attracted millions of boys
because of unique character and its even more unique system of training.

Scouting’s emphasis has been in doing things in a way that will attract the boy and hold his attention
through fun, adventure, and fellowship. But underneath it all, is the very important element of
LEARNING and SERVING through fun and games, through adventure and challenges, through fellowship
and doing things together with boys of his own age.

Thus, a Scout activity like camping or hiking is meaningless, unless in the process, the boy learns to cope
with the unexpected, to learn to live, love and respect nature and understand why it is important to him
and to his society to get the experience of working with others in the service of others. “Scouting is
learning by doing.” Not from books or from lectures as in school, but from actual experience.

The end result, the fun, the fellowship, the adventure have been meaningful and useful to the boys it is
development of the boy’s character, the strengthening of his moral and spiritual values , the building of
a contributing and useful citizen of the nation.

In this process , the adult – trained, experienced, and understanding troop leader is indispensable. It is
through him that scouting comes alive for the boys.
