Famous BB Members - Robert Baden-Powell



Dear friends from the Scout (Pengakap), just wondering did you ever notice that Scouts movement was actually started from the Boys' Brigade? Instead, founder of Scouts movement, Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, was a BB Officer back in 1900. Scouting Movemnent was first used in the BB for the Boys' Brigade Scout Section when Robert Baden-Powell served as the Brigade Secretary, and later the Vice-President of the Boys' Brigade.



Take a look at the pictures below. Are they Scouts or BB?




Trust me, they are BB members from Enfield companies. in the 1900s.

During my secondary school time, the Scouts and the BB were in constant argument on the fact that who was the first youth's uniform body. And somehow all this leads to conflicts between these two parties. When I look back now, I really think that we are really CHILDISH! Who cares who was the first, what is more important is WHAT IS OUR AIM! Both Scouts and BB movement are to HELP THE YOUTH TO GROW IN POSITIVE MANNER!

For your infomation Robert Baden-Powell (Founder of Scouts movement) and Sir William Alexander Smith (Founder of the Boys' Brigade) was actually FRIEND, and the Scouting Movement was to grow up in friendly parallel relations with the Boys' Brigade!

So please, my dear brothers and sisters from both the Scouts and BB, NO MORE ARGUMENT! We are all FRIENDS!!!

Thank You... huh!
