The Baden-Powell
Scouts' Association holds the ideals of Scouting that were created by
our founder. Our Association history dates back to the foundations of Scouting
in the UK in 1908.
We use the same badge system, ranks and uniform that were worn by Scouts
nearly 100 years ago. We follow a charter set down in our Policy Association
Rules and:
Our EXECUTIVE STAFF, AREA COMMISIONERS and LEADERS are
all volunteers and are NOT PAID.
(unlike some other Associations)
Troops in our Association believe that the original Scouting
programme practised in the BPSA is more exciting, fun, challenging and
personally demanding.
The
traditional programme also develops a sense of duty, personal discipline
and honour.
Some don't see these matters as important but we do! Our Scouts enjoy the
traditional Scouting skills;
lighting fire by friction, navigating by means other than a compass
and backwoods
cooking.
We are not connected to any political or military organisation. We are an
independent Scout Association, and are proud members of the World
Federation of Independent Scouts. This is a World body that recognises
Independent Scouts' Associations in countries across the globe that teach
Traditional Baden - Powell Scouting values.
