a. INTRODUCTION: EMCEE-

It was in 1906 when Lord Stephenson Smith Baden Powell initiated the scouting movement to
foster and develop independence, discipline and love of nature to young boy. Three years later,
at the memorable crystal palace rally of the Boyscouts in England , a group of uniformed ,
selfstyled Girlscouts appealed to Lord BP to form a similar movement for girls. Since then,
scouting made a great impact to young boys and girls alike. This very day, we are celebrating a
memorable moment in a boy or girl’s life: to be welcomed into the boyscout and girlscout
organization.
