2. Scout Movement
• Scout Movement is a movement that aims to support
young people in their physical, mental and spiritual
development, that they may play constructive roles in
society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival
skills.
• During the first half of the 20th century, the movement
grew to encompass three major age groups for boys (Kab
Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new
organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie
Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one
of several worldwide youth organizations.

3. Scouting Historical Background
Robert Baden-Powell
• In 1906 and 1907 Robert
Baden-Powell, a lieutenant
general in the British Army,
wrote a book for boys about
reconnaissance and
scouting. Baden-Powell
wrote Scouting for Boys
(London, 1908), based on his
earlier books about military
scouting, with influence and
support of Frederick Russell
Burnham (Chief of Scouts in
British Africa)

4. Scouting Movement of the Philippines
• The BSP was chartered under Commonwealth of the Philippines
Act No. 111 on October 31, 1936. Its predecessor was the
Philippine Islands Council chartered by the Boy Scouts of
America in 1923 through the work of American, Chinese, and
Filipino businessmen and interest groups.
• Scouting in the Philippines became official in 1923 with the
establishment of the Philippine Islands Council of the Boy Scouts
of America. The Philippines became an independent Scouting
nation in 1938, with the handover of assets and duties of the
BSA Philippine Council to the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. In
1940, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines was founded. In 1959,
the 10th World Scout Jamboree was held in Mount Makiling, Los
Baños, Laguna, the first world Scout jamboree held in Asia.
