Interesting to compare what the Boy Scouts have become today with Baden-Powell's original concept.
For those who like going to the sources of things I highly recommend reading "The Matabele Campaign, 1896; Being a Narrative of the Campaign in Suppressing the Native Rising in Matabeleland and Mashonaland" by (then) Col. R.S.S. Baden-Powell, 13th Hussars and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
In that book you can see Baden-Powell first forming the kernel of an idea for a scouts organization for boys and his reasons for thinking this would be a good thing for the preservation of British culture going into the future.
