Behind the Bastards

CHAPTER

The History of the Boy Scouts

In 1902, an American named Ernest Thompson Seton invited some property vandalized by Ram Bunkish's boys. Instead of punishing them, he invited them onto his land for the weekend and taught them camping stuff. He eventually forms an organization that he called the Woodcraft Indians. It was a huge influence on scouting for boys. And when the Boy Scouts as an organization were created in 1910, they were heavily influenced by the structure of the Woodcraft tribe. Baden Powell is not the only founder of the Boy Scouts.
