Canadian Scout History (1910s)


Figure 1.-- Here we see Canadian Scouts in Brampton, Ontario at some kind of public display. The newspaper caption gave no additional details, but did give us the names of the children. Put your cursor on the image to see the names.

Scouting rapidly grew during the 1910s. Although only founded in 1907, it was already a popular and respected institution in the 1919s. A Canadian Scout contingent traveleds to London in 1911 for the Coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. Ontario Scouts held a Jamboree at Exhibition Park in Toronto (1912). His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada, took the salute at the march past of thousands of Boy Scouts. World War I broke out in Europe (1914). A number of former Scouts volunteeered to serve with the British in France. Scouts supported the Allied war effort in various ways. An experiment conducted during 1914 in Goderich, Ontario to provide program for boys under Scout age. Wolf Cubs formally introduced in Canada (1916). This was the same time the program was founded in Britain. (Cubbing in America came much later.) Sea Scout and Rover programs were introduced in 1917. The First Canadian Scout Handbook was published in 1918.
