1900 CE: BADEN–POWELL PUBLISHES HIS PAMPHLET

Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden–Powell publishes a pamphlet Aids to Scouting.

Scouting for Boys would follow in 1908.
Before founding the Scout Movement, Baden–Powell was a lieutenant–general in the British Army. Baden–Powell is known in military circles for having organized the successful defense of the city of Mafeking in the Boer War (in the South Africa region), where the greatly outnumbered British garrison managed to survive a 217 day siege (October 1899 – May 1900) before being relieved.
