Boy Scouts

Japanese: ボーイ・スカウト(英語表記)Boy Scouts
Boy Scouts
A British organization and movement for boys founded in 1908 by RS Baden-Powell (1857-1941). The Girl Scouts organization for women is called the Girl Scouts. When General Powell was in command of the Boer War, he saw boys serving as scouts and advocated training and cultivating boys through scouting activities in the great outdoors, which required adventure, precise observation and technique, quick independent judgment and collective action, rather than military training, which was bound by rules.
