In 1909, a group of troops withdrew from [[Baden-Powell]]'s Boy Scouts Association and formed the British Boy Scouts (BBS), apparently out of concern that Baden-Powell's association was too "official" and militaristic. While some early troops were coed, a public outcry caused them quickly to split into semi-separate British Boy Scouts and British Girl Scouts (BBS and BGS) associations. The BBS and BGS program soon spread to several other British Commonwealth countries. As a result, in 1911, members of the BBS led by Sir Francis Vane (a former official of Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts Association) organized the Order of World Scouts. The Order had some early success, then largely collapsed after its founder and primary financial benefactor declared bankruptcy in 1912. | In 1909, a group of troops withdrew from [[Baden-Powell]]'s Boy Scouts Association and formed the British Boy Scouts (BBS), apparently out of concern that Baden-Powell's association was too "official" and militaristic.
