It is one of several worldwide youth organizations. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups for boys ( Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls ( Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). When played indoors the lines of the compass may be drawn in chalk on the floor.ScoutingĀ or the Scout MovementĀ is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. To make the game more difficult sixteen points may be used instead of eight. These will make it slightly more difficult for the remaining boys. As the game goes on blank spaces will occur. When three marks have been lost the Scout should fall out. When changing places, Scouts must not cross the staves, but must go outside the circle of players. Any one moving out of place without his point being named, or moving to a wrong place or even hesitating, should lose a mark. , and the two Scouts concerned must immediately change places. The Scoutmaster now calls out any two points, such as S. One Scout now takes up his position at the outer end of each staff, and represents one of the eight principal points of the compass. Eight staves are arranged in star fashion on the ground all radiating from the center. This game will be found excellent practice in learning the points of the compass.A sharp Scout in the patrol should be chosen for the "fugitive, " as he has not only to elude perhaps six or seven pursuers, but he must also endeavor to "capture them, " unless he wishes to get killed himself. This game necessitates some careful stalking, and there is no "horse-play" in the shape of ankle-tapping. As soon as a number is taken down, the Scout who takes It must call it out, to let his captive know he is out of action. But if the " fugitive " can, by any means, turn the tables and get any of his pursuers' numbers, the latter are out of action. As soon as a " hunter " can get near enough to the fugitive, " without being seen, to take down his number, the latter is caught. The rest of the patrol then start out and endeavor to track him down. The " fugitive, " who wears tracking-irons, or leaves some kind of trail behind him, is given, say, 'ten minutes' start.
One member of the patrol is then chosen as the " fugitive, " while the rest act as hunters.
He rewrote the manual as a nonmilitary nature skill book and called it Scouting for Boys. Powell discovered that English boys were reading the manual on stalking and survival in the wilderness he had written for British soldiers.
