Scouts is an organization for both girls and boys. It teaches them to be disciplined, practical, dutiful and self-sufficient. The founder of scouts was Robert Baden-Powell, a British soldier. He fought in the South African war and was the hero of the siege of Mafeking. However, even though a warrior, he was not a fan of wars. His objective was not to make boys soldiers, but to guide their love of adventure and heir many instincts to turn them into good citizens. So, he wanted to develop leadership, group-skills and responsibilities.
