'''Traditional Scouting''' movement refers to a ''back to basics'' effort that returns [[Scouting]] to a scheme intentionally based on [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]]'s (BP) own model of Scouting; rejecting the world-wide trend to "modernize" Scouting in order to appeal to more youths. This movement is very popular in [[Scouts Canada|Canada]] and certain parts of [[Boy Scouts of America|America]] (BSA). The movement began in 1970 in Britain and is closely associated with the [[Baden-Powell Scouts]]; although not all Traditional Scouting units are members of the Baden-Powell Scouts. One other British group is the [[Pathfinder Scouts Association]]. | '''Traditional Scouting''' movement refers to a ''back to basics'' effort that returns [[Scouting]] to a scheme intentionally based on [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]]'s (BP) own model of Scouting; rejecting the world-wide trend to "modernize" Scouting in order to appeal to more youths.

Traditional Scouting is not historical reenactment, but for the most part an attempt to present Scouting as it was before the 1960s. For all practical purposes in most of the former British Empire (with minor national variations due to climate and the influence of native cultures), this was how it had been played by Scouting's inventor, Lord Baden-Powell, while he was still alive. | Traditional Scouting is not historical reenactment, but for the most part an attempt to present Scouting as it was before the 1960s.
