100 Years of Scouting:
After being helped out by a "scout" in England, an American visitor, William D. Boyce sought out Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the famous British general who had founded the Scouting movement in Great Britain. Boyce was so impressed with what he learned that he decided to bring Scouting home with him.
On February 8, 1910, Boyce and a group of outstanding leaders founded the Boy Scouts of America. From that day forth, Scouts have celebrated February 8 as the birthday of Scouting in the United States.
No one knows what happened to the boy who helped Mr. Boyce. He had neither asked for money nor given his name, but he will never be forgotten. His Good Turn helped bring the Scouting movement to our country.
One Good Turn to one man became a Good Turn to millions of American boys. Such is the power of a Good Turn.
One hundred years, 110 million Scouts and more than 2 million Eagle Scouts later, it's quite a legacy. We're proud of our 100-year history and being strong today, and we look forward to the future."
Here is some information on Famous BSA Scouts, and information about American Astronauts who were Scouts.

Baden-Powell thought for the day: It is the patrol system that makes the troop, and all Scouting, for that matter, a real co-operative matter.
