One Good Turn
The stoiy of Scouting in America actually starts in
England in 1909. William D. Boyce was lost in a
dense London fog when a boy offered assistance. He
guided Mr. Boyce to his destination and refused a tip
for his efforts, explaining that he was a Scout. On fin
ishing his errand, Boyce asked the boy to take him to
the British Scouting office, where he met Lord Robert
Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. Boyce was
impressed by what he learned in England and resolved
to bring Scouting home to America. On
February 8, 1910, Boyce and three
/ | other men founded the Boy Scouts
iJu saHk of America, but it really all started
with one boy doing a good turn.
