line. This seems odd to me because I’ve learned so much as a Scout. For the last seven years I've been a Scout, and I’ve acquired a variety of skills over that time.

beginning to today Scouting is a movement that was created over a hundred years ago in order to educate youth. The “regular” man who started it all is highly regarded and there are “… literally millions of people in the world to-day who are the better for Robert Baden-Powell having been born.
