Technically, this is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of *America*.  In 1909, the Unknown Scout helped the American William Boyce find his way through a London fog, and refused to accept money for his Good Turn.  Boyce found out about the Scouts, and started the American version in 1910.

The first Boy Scout camp was held on Brownsea Island in 1907 by Sir Robert Baden-Powell (later Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell).  He wrote the first Boy Scout handbook (Scouting for Boys) in 1908.  (If you want to see a facsimile edition of this book, and live anywhere near the DFW area, come to Open Library tonight.  See the Steppes Calendar. http://steppes.ansteorra.org/event/2010/02/8/day)
