Background Information

Scouting 2007 has been established as a subsidiary of The Scout Association, and has responsibility for events and activities leading up to and during 2007.

Centenary of Scouting

Scouting started in 1907, with an experimental camp on Brownsea Island in the UK for 20 boys from a wide variety of social backgrounds.

Gifts for Peace

The promotion of International Peace was the reason Baden-Powell organised the first World Scout Jamboree in 1920 - and Peace was the theme of B-P's speech at the closing ceremony.
