Boy Scouts
Formed by Lord Baden Powell in 1907 the Boy Scouts played a vital role on the Home Front during the Great War, from assisting the army and police as watchers and signallers to raising money for the war effort and collecting material for recycling. The discipline and training was also an excellent preparation for military service and an outlet for patriotic fervour amongst young boys keen to do their bit for King and Country.
