Incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America

February 8th, 1910 115 years ago

William D. Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America in 1910, establishing a nationwide organization aimed at promoting outdoor skills, leadership, and community service among young boys. The incorporation followed Boyce's inspiration from a scouting organization in England, and it included principles of duty to God, country, and others. The organization quickly gained popularity, leading to the formation of local troops across the United States, which emphasized character development and citizenship.
