TALE OF THE UNKNOWN SCOUT
Scouting was brought to America by
William D. Boyce, a Chicago
publisher, and the way Boyce
discovered Scouting is one of the
movement’s most colorful stories.
Boyce, it seems, was in London in the
fall of 1909 and was out in a famed
London fog looking for an office in the
center of the city.
Nearly at his wit’s end, Boyce stopped
a young man and asked directions. Not
only did the youth tell Boyce how to
reach his destination, he actually led
Boyce there to make certain the
American found his way without becoming lost again.
Boyce, to show his gratitude, offered the youth a tip, but the youth
would not accept it. When asked why, the young man told Boyce
he was a Boy Scout and taking a tip would negate the good deed he
had done and violate his Scouting code.
The youth’s gesture impressed Boyce, who later visited with Lord
Baden-Powell himself. Boyce was so taken with Baden-Powell and
the Scouting idea that back in America he and other men interested
in youth development founded the Boy Scouts of America in
Washington, D.C., on February 8th, 1910.
No one knows who the Scout was who performed his Good Turn
for Boyce, but he has not been forgotten. In Gilwell Park in
London, American Scouts had a statue erected in his honor. A
large-scale representation of the Silver
Buffalo Award, the statue bears the
inscription, “To the Unknown Scout
Whose Faithfulness in the Performance of
the Daily Good Turn Brought the Scout
Movement to the United States of
America.”
