The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are the largest children and youth movement in the world. 38 million members in more than 200 countries around the world have one goal: to accompany children and young people to dedicated and critical adults. People of all skin colors and all religious communities with a peaceful attitude are welcome. If you add the so-called Altpfadfinder (adults so that remain through the promise all their life scouts), so should today live around 100 million members of the Great Brotherhood around the world, of which about two million in Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland. All this began on July 15, 1907. On that day, the English General Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, the later Lord of Gilwell, rowed with 22 boys from the port of the southern English town of Poole over to Brownsea Island for the first scout camp. The children came from all walks of life, cavalry officers, stable boys, millionaires, and simple workers. For 25 days, "Bi-Pi", as Baden-Powell was affectionately known, practiced the Pathfinder Educational Program. He wrote his experiences in his book "Scouting for boys". The book was received enthusiastically by the youth and Scout groups were founded everywhere. One year after the book was published, there were already 60,000 Boy Scouts in England. The basic idea of ​​Baden-Powell spread like wildfire and in 1910 the first groups were founded outside of England. So also in Vienna, Wiener Neustadt, Graz and Dornbirn. In 1913 Vienna already had the first girl group. Scouts from all over the world came to London for the first World Scout meeting in 1920. Bi-Pi called this meeting "Jamboree, peaceful meeting of all tribes". From this year onwards, with a few exceptions, every four years took place. In Austria there were two large associations in the interwar period, the Austrian Scout Association and the Austrian Scout Corps St. George. In 1938 these were banned and restarted after the end of the war in 1945 as Scouts of Austria. In 1951, the 7th World Scout Meeting took place in Bad Ischl, Upper Austria. In 1976 there was a merger of the boys and girls association to the "Scouts and Girl Scouts of Austria" (PPÖ). In Austria there are about 85,000 members, who are organized in over 300 groups in all federal states.
