Up to the beginning of the last sentence is fine. We need to add there about how Scouting took off all on its own with boys starting patrols and troops. That is a fascinating part of the history. We must have something about it somewhere. Then we need to discuss how B-P coped with that spontaneous growth and Scouting spread rapidly. I think I an too old to handle that myself, but am prepared to check and comment. Bduke (talk) 07:47, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
