What is National Boy Scouts Day?
National Boys Scouts Day is annually held on February 8th. Boys from around America have been doing good deeds, learning survival skills, and building morale through the Boy Scout of America since 1910.
The Boy Scouts of America has roots in the British Boy Scouts group, which was established in 1908 following Robert Baden-Powell's success with book Scouting for Boys.
William Dickson Boyce, an American newspaperman, became lost on a foggy day in London when a Boy Scout came to his rescue. Boyce arrived at his destination with the boy's lead. The Boy Scout refused to accept the compensation because Boyce had paid for the service, but it was not a good deed.
Boyce was encouraged to group like youth groups into a joint group. Boyce registered incorporation papers on February 8, 1910, and the Boy Scouts of America was established.
Boy Scouts have had a major influence on the United States. Boy Scouts have served with several presidents and other dignitaries. The Boy Scouts have been Boy Scouts for many decades. A total of 181 Astronauts have also been a part of the Boy Scout program.
