Yep, we learned this as Boy Scouts when I was a kid.

Nothing new but always worth a good repeat. Not everyone is aware of this.
Tristan, they have Boy Scouts Down Under? I thought they were only in the USA. My one son was a Scout (oph how I dreaded the tent trips:) )

Lord Baden Powell was the founder of the Scouts. He was a brit. They are found all over the world now.

They certainly did when I was a kid. I grew up on the mountain you sometimes see in my photos so there were plenty of opportunities for adventure. Hopefully I can find a good scout troupe when my boys are a bit older. |

Frankly they BSA should have educated every Scout on where the organization was founded and how the USA was NOT among the very first countries to have been established.
