The Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, is an integral part of a long-established worldwide Scouting movement that boasts more than 15 million members in over 100 countries. It all began in 1907 in England when Lord Robert Baden-Powell, a British military hero, held the first Boy Scout camp and published Scouting for Boys, which led to the formation of the British Boy Scout Association. This movement found its way to America when a London Scout “did a good turn” for Chicago publisher William D. Boyce, leading to the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910. Congress officially chartered the organization in 1916. In Rhode Island, the state-chartered Rhode Island Boy Scouts began organizing troops in 1910, with the exception of Newport, Blackstone Valley and Woonsocket, where troops were organized and affiliated with the National Council Boy Scouts of America.
