The Boy Scout section was the first element of Scouting devised by Robert Baden-Powell, which he tested at an experimental camp on Brownsea Island in Dorset in 1907 and which was launched with the publication of Scouting for Boys in 1908.
The training scheme was again revised in 1984,[REF] and in 1990 the decision was taken for all sections to become co-educational allowing the first girls to join Scout Troops [REF].
