Baden-Powell wrote a book for British soldiers about how to live and survive in the wilds of nature. When he found out that many British boys were reading it, he rewrote the book to teach boys about nature skills. He tested his ideas by inviting a group of 22 boys to camp out on an island for several days to learn about nature. This camp was the beginning of the scouts we know today. Today, there are many different Boy Scout groups around the world, with about 25 million boys. The main purposes of the group are to teach boys to respect and serve God, their country and other people, to be independent from wrong influences, and to be responsible for themselves and their own good character. Their promise and law is "duty to God and country," and their motto is "Be Prepared." They believe that they should do good to others without expecting any reward. (责任编辑：admin) |
