HISTORYOFSCOUTING INTHE PHILIPPINES

y
Scouting in the Philippines is among the oldest in the world, with an all-Filipino
Boy Scout troop organizedin Mindanao as early as 1914. This is early if one
recognizes that Scouting started in England, with Lord Baden-Powell behind it, in 1908
and was introduced in the United States only in 1910.
y
The first Boy Scout troop in the Philippines was composed entirely of Filipino Muslims boys. The troop
wasorganized by Lt. Sherman L. Kiser of the Philippine Scouts, U.S. Army, at an
army barracks in Zamboanga. It wasnamed the Lorillard Spencer Troop, in honor
of the son of Mrs. Caroline Spencer, whose idea and support made theformation of
the troop possible. On January 1923, the Boy Scouts of America, Philippine
Council was formallyorganized through the initiative of the Manila Rotary Club.
The program of the Boy Scouts of America was utilizedin the Philippines.
y
Realizing that Scouting had come to stay in the Philippines, Assemblyman Tomas
Confesor of Iloilo sponsored the bill in the National Assembly incorporating the
Boy Scouts of the Philippines, with Col. J.E.H. Stevenot, JudgeManuel Camus,
Gen Vicente Lim, Arsenio N. Luz, Carlos P. Romulo, Jorge B. Vargas and Gabriel
Daza asincorporators and Charter members. This was signed into Law as
Commonwealth Act No. 111 on October 31, 1936 by President Manuel L. Quezon.
y
Operations of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines was temporarily disrupted during
the Japanese occupation (1942-1945) and resumed on February 24, 1945 when the
National Council of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines wasestablished.
y
On October 1, 1946, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines was recognized as a
member of the World Scout Movement by the World Scout Conference as an
independent national scout association.
y

In 1959, in recognition of its leadership in Scouting in Asia, the 10

th
World Jamboree was held in Mt. Makiling,Laguna. It was the first time a World
Jamboree was held outside of Europe. The date also marked establishment of the
National Scout Training Center in Makiling.
y
In 1961, the BSP National Executive Board approved and adopted a Revitalized
Scouting Program. This officiallylaunched on June 19, 1961, the first successful attempt at
Filipinization of the Scout Program.
y
In 1972, the Boy Scout of the Philippines membership surpassed the million mark,
ranking it as the largest ScoutOrganization inAsia and largest in theWorld.
y
At present the Boy Scouts of the Philippines with its membership of 2.5 million
Scouts ranks second in the Asia-Pacific Region, and is thord to the Boy Scouts of
America in World membership is 28 million with 75% of themembership coming from
theAsia-Pacific Region.
y
To effect changes in its organization charter, Presidential Decree 460 was issued by
them President Ferdinand E.Marcos on May 17, 1974, amending certain provisions
of Commonwealth Act No. 111 and mandating arestructuring of the Boy Scout of the
Philippines. \
On January 24, 1908, the Boy Scouts movement begins in England with the publication
of the first installment of Robert Baden-Powells Scouting for Boys. The name BadenPowell was already well known to many English boys, and thousands of them eagerly
bought up the handbook. By the end of April, the serialization of Scouting for Boys was
completed, and scores of impromptu Boy Scout troops had sprung up across Britain.
In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of
Mafeking in the South African War. Soon after, Aids to Scouting, a military field manual
he had written for British soldiers in 1899, caught on with a younger audience. Boys

loved the lessons on tracking and observation and organized elaborate games using the
book. Hearing this, Baden-Powell decided to write a nonmilitary field manual for
adolescents that would also emphasize the importance of morality and good deeds.
First, however, he decided to try out some of his ideas on an actual group of boys. On
July 25, 1907, he took a diverse group of 21 adolescents to Brownsea Island in
Dorsetshire where they set up camp for a fortnight. With the aid of other instructors, he
taught the boys about camping, observation, deduction, woodcraft, boating, lifesaving,
patriotism, and chivalry. Many of these lessons were learned through inventive games
that were very popular with the boys. The first Boy Scouts meeting was a great success.
With the success of Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office,
which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were
60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries
across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held at
the Crystal Palace in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up, including a group of
uniformed girls who called themselves the Girl Scouts. In 1910, Baden-Powell organized
the Girl Guides as a separate organization.
The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in
London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout
came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining
that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This
anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth
organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the
Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread
throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of
America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in
the United States, for boys under the age of 11. Four years later, the first international
Boy Scout Jamboree was held in London, and Baden-Powell was acclaimed Chief
Scout of the world. He died in 1941.

niibig ko ang Pilipinas, aking lupang

sinilangan,
Tahanan ng aking lahi, kinukupkop ako
at tinutulungang
Maging malakas, masipag at marangal
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
Diringgin ko ang payo ng aking
magulang,
Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng
isang mamamayang makabayan,
Naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal
nang buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap,
pagsisikap
Sa bansang Pilipinas.
Ako ay Pilipino,
Buong katapatang nanunumpa sa watawat
ng Pilipinas,
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag,
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan,
Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka-Diyos, Maka-kalikasan, Maka tao at
Maka bansa.

Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan.

Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at
sa langit mong bughaw,
may dilag ang tula at awit
sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
tagumpay na nagniningning.
Ang bituin at araw niya
kailan pa may di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng lualhati't pagsinta,
buhay ay langit sa piling mo.
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi,
ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas

Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa
CHORUS
Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag

Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya

Pugad ng luha at dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya

AD LIB
