Robert Stephenson Baden-Powell Known as the founder of the Scouting Movement.
Robert S.S. Baden-Powell Baden-Powell is considered the Founder of Scouting. Born 1857 in England. Attended Charterhouse. Was a poor student, but had good dramatic and artistic skills. Learned outdoor skills on own and on trips with older brothers. Entered military service in 1876 as a sub-lieutenant.
Baden-Powell Established Boy Scout Association in 1908. Knighted in 1909 for his military service. Retired from military service in 1910 as a lieutenant general to start his “second life”. Baden-Powell would thus devote the remainder of his life to Scouting, both in the UK and world-wide.
Scouting in the Philippines
Scouting in the Philippines goes hand-in-hand with the American occupation of the islands.
1912 There were accounts of the presence of Boy Scouts in Manila as early as 1912 as backed by the proceedings of the first BSA National Council Meeting in 1911 and an article in the Boy Scout Story, a book on the beginnings of Scouting in America, published in 1955. Aside from the report, Robert Baden-Powell himself mentioned the existence of Scouting in the island in the British Scouting magazine during his 1912 visit to the islands.
Mrs. Caroline S. Spencer Plans of forming Scouting troops for Filipino boys came from Mrs. Caroline S. Spencer, an American widow doing charity works with the natives in Sulu with Lt. Sherman L. Kiser, a young second lieutenant assigned to arrange her transportation and accommodation for her charity work.
Lorillard Spencer Troop The earliest documented Scout troop in Philippine history was the Lorillard Spencer Troop. The troop was organized by a United States Navy 2nd Lieutenant by the name of Sherman Kiser on November 15, 1914, in Zamboanga and was composed of young Muslim boys. It was named after the son of its benefactor Caroline Spencer.
Other troops organized were the Red Rose Girl Scout troop by Mrs. Gertrude Angen , an American missionary. The troop was organized in 1918. The troop was registered with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.
Another formation was documented in 1922 when 16-year old Celso Mirafuente formed a troop in Boac , Marinduque based on a BSA handbook and clippings of Boys Life magazine that came into his possession. This led to the recognition of Mirafuente as the pioneer of Scouting in the province.
Through the initiative of the Rotary Club of Manila, in cooperation with other civic oriented groups like the Young Men’s Christian Association, Knights of Columbus, Masons, Elks, the Filipino and Chinese Chambers of Commerce, the United States Army, Catholic and Protestant Churches, and the American Legion, Scouting was officially established in the country as the Philippine Council of the Boy Scouts of the America (BSA). Philippine Council of the Boy Scouts of the America (BSA).
The Council was chartered as a first class council on December 27, 1923, and its jurisdiction was elevated to a national scope instead of being concentrated only in Manila as originally requested. Being part of the BSA, Scouting programs were administered through the BSA executives from the National Office in New York.
The BSP bill was sponsored by Iloilo Assemblyman Tomas Confesor and was signed into law as Commonwealth Act. No. 111 by President Manuel L. Quezon on October 31, 1936, creating the Boy Scouts of the Philippines as a public corporation with the purpose of promoting “the ability of boys to do useful things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are in common use by boy Scouts.”
On January 01, 1938, the inauguration of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines was held in front of the Legislative Building in Manila, with Exequiel Villacorta taking over as Chief Scout Executive, equivalent to the position of today’s Secretary General.
Several years after Commonwealth Act. No. 111, with its subsequent amendments under Presidential Decree No. 460 and Republic Act No. 7278, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines continues to strive in pursuing its mission – to inculcate in our Scouts love of God, country and fellowmen; to prepare the youth for responsible leadership; and to contribute to nation-building according to the ideals, principles and programs of Scouting.
