Scouting
Pathfinder- Ernest Thompson Seton Last week I talked about Baden-Powell, the English soldier who founded Boy Scouting. While Baden-Powell was working out his ideas for Scouting, in this country a man named Ernest Thompson Seton was doing something quite similar. Seton was an author and artist, and even before Baden-Powell organized the first Scouts, Seton had started a boy's organization called the Woodcraft Indians. HIS woodcraft Indians hike and camped and studied nature, just as Scouts do. When BadenPowell's Boy Scouting idea spread to America, Seton joined in. He became the first Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America and he did much to spread the idea of Scouting here. Seton stressed Indian lore and many of his ideas still live in the Order of the Arrow. In honor of Ernest Thompson Seton let us repeat the Scout Law. |
