The Boy Scouts Association of Zimbabwe

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Boy Scouts Association of Zimbabwe is a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. Scouting in Zimbabwe shares history with Maläi and Zambia, with which it was linked for decades. Scouting in the former Rhodesia and Nyasaland started in 1909 when the first Boy Scout troop was registered. Scouting grew quickly and in 1924 Rhodesia and Nyasaland sent a large contingent to the second World Scout Jamboree in Ermelunden, Denmark. A detailed history of this very early period was written in Burnham: King of Scouts, a biographical novel by Peter van Wyk. Frederick Russell Burnham (1861-1947), a scout from the American Old West, taught Scouting to Robert Baden-Powell, inspiring Baden-Powell to eventually found the Boy Scouts.
