Leadership Development, multi-troop camp-out hosted by Saugahatchee Troop 371, celebrating Scouting's Centennial.

This is a very special year for World Scouting. Please join Troop 371 as we celebrate with a special camping experience. All Troops are invited.

On the morning of August 1st, 1907, 100 years ago today, Scouting's founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell sounded his kudu horn to assemble 20 boys of different social backgrounds that he had invited to be a part of the world's first Boy Scout camp on Brownsea Island, on the South-coast of England. In that instant, the "World Scouting Movement" was born and now 28 million scouts exists in 216 countries!
