The weather outside was frightful so a late switch for Scouts to a relaxed end of term board games night. Back at it after half term.

Baden Powell founded Scouts in 1907 but our uniformed organisation friends, the Boys Brigade, had a head start on us, founded on this day in 1883 - congratulations to any BB out there!

On this day in 1883, a Sunday School teacher in Glasgow decided he’d had enough of chaos in his classroom.

William Alexander Smith was a businessman and Volunteer soldier who couldn’t keep his boys in order — so on the evening of 4 October 1883, he threw open the doors of the Free College Church Mission at 329 North Woodside Road with two friends, the Hill brothers. They called themselves “the Dauntless Three.”
The first session was pure drill. No boy could fall in if he was even a minute late. But it worked — fifty-nine names in three weeks, boys aged twelve to sixteen.

That one evening became the world’s first uniformed youth organisation. It pioneered organised camping for young people in 1886, and Baden-Powell later drew on it when he founded the Scouts in 1908.

From a mission hall in Glasgow to 750,000 members worldwide.
