Scouts Movement
Scouting began in 1907 and was founded by Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant-general in the British Army, serving from 1876 until 1902 in India and Africa. In 1899, during the Second Boer War in South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the town of Mafeking in a siege that lasted seven months. Baden-Powell’s troops were vastly outnumbered so he used local boys to administer first aid, carry messages and run errands.
On returning to the UK, Baden-Powell realized that boys at home could benefit from similar sorts of activities to the boys at Mafeking. These activities went on to form the basis of the Scouting Movement. While Scouting remains relevant, educational and exciting today, it has not strayed too far from its roots; outdoor adventure, helping others and Scouting skills remain the most iconic of its activities.
The scouts movement at Busy Angels Academy aims to support young children in their, physical, mental and spiritual development. We have a fully pledged scouts club actively participating in annual scout’s events as well as Community Social Responsibility Activities.
