Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Boy Scouts of Canada : Shortly after the publication in England, in 1908, of Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys, Scout troops were formed spontaneously in Canada. In 1910, a Dominion Council was established and Governor General Earl Grey accepted the position of Chief Scout for Canada. The Boy Scouts Association was incorporated in the United Kingdom two years later. In June 1914, a Canadian branch of that organization - The Canadian General Council of the Boy Scouts Association - was incorporated. In 1920, the International Conference, to which all recognized Boy Scout associations belonged, was formed.

As a branch of the United Kingdom association, the Canadian General Council was represented in this body by Imperial Headquarters until 1946 when Canada became an independent member of the International Conference. In 1961 the name Canadian General Council of the Boy Scouts Association was changed to Boy Scouts of Canada/Les Scouts du Canada. The affairs of the corporation are administered and managed by the National Council and its Executive Committee, with responsibilities distributed to a number of Standing Committees.

In order to meet the particular needs of French-speaking Catholic Scouts, an affiliation agreement was reached in 1935 between the Canadian General Council and La Federation des Scouts Catholiques de la Province de Quebec. In 1961, however, L'Association des Scouts Catholiques du Canada was created with the intention of obtaining jurisdiction over Catholic scouting throughout Canada, while working in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of Canada. An agreement of affiliation was reached between the two organizations in 1967.
