A brief history of troop 430

Scouting was founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell who was a British General in Africa. In fact, if you go to Kenya, you can visit his grave. While in Africa he designed a series of outdoor game activities to "toughen" the men sent to him from England. The men enjoyed these stunts and took them back to England, and thus, Baden-Powell had to rewrite his Stunts program for boys. In 1907 he took a group of boys to Brownsea Island off the coast of England and tried out his new program. He gave them shorts, a shirt, and a neckerchief and divided them into Patrols. As a result of this experience, he published a book in 1908 called "Scouting for Boys", the first Boy Scout handbook.
