History of Scouting It all started on July 25, 1907, Robert Baden Powell took a group of 21 boys to Brownsea Island in Dorsetshire where they set up camp for a fortnight. He taught the boys about camping, observation, deduction, woodcraft, boating, lifesaving, patriotism, and chivalry. With the success of the experimental camp, Robert Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office, which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were 60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up.
History of Scouting in Singapore Scouting in Singapore was inaugurated on July 2. Mr. Frank Cooper Sands, a Scoutmaster from the United Kingdom, formed the First Sands Troop with 30 boys. In 1919, a troop was formed at St.Joseph’s Institution. It was the fourth troop in Singapore. Scouting from Singapore spread to the mainland of the Malay Peninsula and Mr. Frank Cooper Sands assumed the post of Chief Commissioner of the Scout Branch Association, Comprising of the Scout associations of Singapore, Penang and Malacca.
