Greek Language

Religion In Scouting
Religion in Scouting and Guiding is an aspect of the Scout method that has been practiced differently and given different interpretations in different parts of the world over the years. In contrast to the Christian-only Boys' Brigade, which started two decades earlier, Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scout movement as a youth organization (with boys as 'Scouts' and girls as 'Guides'), which was independent of any single faith or religion, yet still held that spirituality and a belief in a higher power were key to the development of young people. Scouting organizations are free to interpret the method as laid down by the founder. As the modern world has become more secular and as many societies have become more religiously diverse, this has caused misunderstandings and controversies in some of the national member organizations. Views of religion's place in Scouting Founder's views When creating the Scouting method, Baden-Powell was adamant that there was a place for God wit ...

Grace was sent to Ankole in western Uganda to start Mbarara High School. He also started the first troop in Uganda.

Grace was transferred to Namirembe, where he started a second troop of Scouts.
