21 boys boarded a boat in Poole Harbor…
… they had no way of knowing they were pioneering a movement for millions of young people around the world. Several lived well into old age to vividly recount their experiences decades later.
Scouting’s pathways are now worn by travel, but each new Scout today has a “Brownsea Island Moment” when they encounter a new and unexplored land, just those boys did over a century ago.
An equally important moment had to come before that Brownsea moment.
The parents of those first Scouts put them on the boat to Brownsea island and stayed behind.
We’ll discuss the importance of both moments on this week’s podcast.
