When is National Boy Scouts Day?
Wednesday February 8thEvery year, National Boys Scouts Day is celebrated on February 8th. Through the Boy Scout of America, boys from around America have been doing good deeds, learning survival skills, and building morale.
The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1908 after Robert Baden-Powell's success with the book Scouting for Boys.
On a foggy day in London, William Dickson Boyce, an American newspaperman, became lost when a Boy Scout came to his rescue. Boyce arrived at his destination after following the boy's lead. When Boyce paid for the assistance, the Boy Scout refused to tell Boyce that it was a good deed.
Boyce was inspired to bring together similar youth groups into one group. Boyce registered incorporation papers on February 8, 1910, and the Boy Scouts of America was established. Boyce filed papers of incorporation on February 8, 1910.
Boy Scouts have had a major influence in the United States, with a major influence on the nation. Boy Scouts have served with several presidents and other dignitaries. The Boy Scout program has a total of 181 Astronauts.
