To Kill A Mockingbird And Obey The Scout Law

Everyone, please raise your three fingers of your right hand. Now, you may think that this just represents the number three or some of you may think that it’s a sign of respect from the movie or book hunger games although they used their left hand. Anyway, these three fingers have a significant importance in boy scouts as a salute. For them, it is a promise that they’ll respect three main principles -

1. To Honor God and country

2. Help others

3. And Obey the scout law (I’ll talk about the scout law later in my presentation)

I read a fictional novel, How I live now by Meg Rosoff. The book is about a fifteen-year-old girl Elizabeth, known as Daisy who is sent to live in the English countryside with her aunt and cousins she had never met.

In 1899, he wrote a military field manual ‘Aids to Scouting’ for British soldiers which caught the interest of young children. In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking in the South African War. Boys learned many lessons on observation and tracking and then structured their own games using the book. After hearing this, Baden Powell decided to write another manual and this time a non-military one that was for adolescents focussing on good deeds and importance of morality. However, before writing it he decided to test a few of his ideas on an actual group of boys, so he took 21 boys to Brownsea Island in Dorsetshire on July 25, 1907, where they camped for a fortnight. He, along with aid of some other instructors, taught the boys about lifesaving, camping, boating, woodcraft, patriotism, and chivalry. Many popular games were used to make lessons for boys and therefore another book called Scouting for Boys was published in 1908. After the publication of Scouting for Boys, Baden Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office which designed a uniform and enrolled new Scouts. There were around 60,000 Boy Scouts by the end of 1908, and troops began arising across the globe in British Commonwealth

The first national Boy Scouts meeting was held in September 1909 at the Crystal Palace in London. Around ten thousand scouts showed up including some girls in uniform who called themselves Girl Scouts. So, Baden Powell also organized the Girl Guides as a separate organization. He formed Girl guides in 1910 and asked his sister Agnes to look after the Girl Guides organization. A few years later Baden-Powell's wife Olave became involved and, in 1918, was appointed as Chief Guide.

The American version of the Boy Scouts originated in an event that occurred in 1909 in
