Funny you should mention that. The Boy Scouts of America was indeed heavily influenced by B-P's Scout organization; however, they also find their lineage in Daniel Carter Beard's Sons of Daniel Boone and Ernest Thompson Seton's Woodcraft Indians. In fact, all three men knew of each other's youth movements, and B-P even used elements of Seton's Woodcraft Indian program in fleshing out his Scout program. So, it could be said that while B-P was "majority owner", as it were, of today's World Organization of the Scout Movement, there's more than a trace of Yank blood flowing through its veins.

Ironically, Dusty, there are plenty of questions about ol' B-P's partner preference.
