The Scout Association
The Scout Association is the
World Organization of the Scout Movement recognized
Scouting association in the
United Kingdom. Scouting began in
1907 through the efforts of
Robert Baden-Powell. Due to the rapid growth of scouting and a desire to remove control from the publisher of the scouting magazine, the Boy Scout Association was formed in
1910 by the grant of a charter by the United Kingdom Parliament. In
1967 the name was formally changed to The Scout Association. Girls were admitted in 1976 so that the Association has now become a co-educational institution.
