9. History of Scouting  Beginnings of the Scouting Movement – The 20th-century scouting movement was started by Robert Baden-Powell during the Boer War as a series of games and exercises to help men learn to live in the open under difficult conditions – Powell developed a book called “Aids to Scouting” as a way of training recruits. This book became an instant hit among boys – He conducted his first Boy Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907, and his book “Scouting for Boys” was published in 1908 – In England, Boy Scouts formally started on Jan. 24, 1908 9

10. www.troop604.org History of Scouting  History of Scouting in the USA – In the United States the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) had been running camps for boys since 1884. – In 1902 Ernest Thompson Seton founded the Tribe of Woodcraft Indians as a boy's organization. – Three years later Daniel Carter Beard started a similar society called the Sons of Daniel Boone. – February 8 th, 1910 William Boyce, inspired by unknown Scout in London, incorporated BSA working with YMCA and Seton. – In 1910, Seton combined B-P “Scouting for Boys”and Woodcraft Manual to publish first BSA Handbook – In 1947, Troop 604 was established in Scotts Valley and is proud to have had a high number of its members achieve Scouting's highest honor, Eagle Scout, over the years! 10

12. Life Skills in a Values-Based Environment Scouting is a values-based program with its own code of conduct. The Scout Oath and Law help instill the values of good conduct and honesty. A boy who spends one year in a Scout troop will learn lifetime skills. He will learn basic outdoor skills, self-reliance, and how to get along with others. Scouting will prepare him to live a more productive and fulfilling life. 12www.troop604.org

13. Scouting offers young people a rich and varied arena in which to learn and use leadership skills. Among the challenges encountered by a troop's youth leaders are Organizing patrols Using duty rosters Planning menus and figuring food costs Encouraging advancement Guiding a patrol's involvement in problem solving Teaching outdoor skills Helping to ensure patrol safety during outings Handling patrol finances Helping other Scouts make the most of their own leadership opportunities 13www.troop604.org

14. Troop Leadership Training (TNT) is Scoutmaster- directed training divided into three modules: Module One—Introduction to Leadership (Know). Conducted within a week of a Scout's acceptance of his new position, this session focuses on what a leader must know. Module Two—How to Fulfill Your Role (Be). This session on how to fulfill the role's responsibilities focuses on what a leader must be. Module Three—What Is Expected of Me? (Do). This session focuses on what a leader must do. 14www.troop604.org

15. Module One—Know 1. The Boy-Led Troop and Living the Scout Oath and Law 15www.troop604.org

16. What does it mean when we say “a boy-led troop”? The BSA's definition is that “empowering boys to be leaders” is the core of Scouting. A Boy Scout troop is a small democracy. With the Scoutmaster's direction, the boys are formed into patrols, plan the troop's program, and make it a reality. 16www.troop604.org

17. Troops find success by utilizing the following: Troop calendar Troop meetings Troop activities Patrol leaders' council Public service Outdoor activities 17www.troop604.org

20. There are three types of patrols: Regular patrols New-Scout patrols Venture patrols “The object of the patrol method is not so much saving the Scoutmaster trouble as to give responsibility to the boy.” —Robert S. S. Baden-Powell 20www.troop604.org
