THE BOY SCOUTS IDEA.
Il Originated In America, According to
National Scout Commissions.

Daniel c. Beard, national boy scout
commissioner, in a letter 10 a New
York newspaper contributes the fol-
lowing:
For the sake of historical accuracy
allow me TO correct a statement to the
effect that the boy scout idea origi-
mated In England. The fact is it was
evolved here in America from Ameri
can traditions and history and particu-
larly from the lives Of the buckskin
men Of the middle west-Daniel Boone
and Simon Kenton, George Rogers
Clark, Davy Crockett and George
Washington. The distinguished gen.
eral Baden-Powell was too good a
sportsman to claim the idea. When he
first visited this country and was in
troduced by Mr.. Seton as the father Of
the boy scouts he said, L am not the
father, but l might be called the "un-
cle."' He frankly acknowledged that
he 'cribbed' the idea from America.
See also Colonel Roosevelt's letter to
the boy scouts Of Philadelphia in the
book Of their third annual encamp-
ment, in which he says that the boy
scout idea was brought to his atten-
ton while he was president. This was
before Baden-Powells scouts were or
ganized. Baden-Powell previously had
a society Of boys; so also had many
other people and churches and welfare
workers. but none of them became
universally popular until the American
scout idea was adopted to appeal to
the boys love of romance and adven-
ture
1.-The gentlemen in this movement
are in it TO help the boys and not for
personal glory; hence we have agreed
that none of us shall make personal
claims to the honor Of originating the
idea, but we also agreed that it Is per-
fectly right. legitimate, proper and q
patriotic duty TO state that it is an
American idea, indigenous to this coun-
try.
1.-The boy scout movement had its
birth many years previous to 1910 here
In America. 1t was. however, in 1910
that the different bodies and individu
ais working for the boys united and
formed the present organization known
as the Boy Scouts of America; hence
the erroneous impression as to the date
of the birth of the boy scout idea"
