3rd Whitton Scout Group. Scout Association registration 19169. Registered Charity No. 1122512

Leadership
Robert Baden-Powell undertook his first experimental camp at Brownsea Island over the period 31 July to 9 August 1907.
During that year, and into 1908, Baden-Powell was formulating the text Scouting for Boys which was published as a serial in 6 fortnightly parts (4d each) from 15 January 1908. The text was printed as a single edition later that year.

When Robert Baden-Powell took the group of 20 boys to camp to try out the “Scouting Method”, he probably couldn’t imagine that 100 years later the World Organisation for the Scout Movement (WOSM) would count 28 million members in 155 countries.
