Description |
The Boston University has a "special collections" room that is devoted
to the history of the Scouting movement with material on Baden-Powell,
robert Frost, and Norman Rockwell. Powell materials include a letter
from Rudyard Kipling, in which Kipling credits Baden-Powell with "the
single most significant contribution of our generation to civilization,
excepting of course the Salvation Army." They also have materials
showing Baden-Powell's use of the swastika symbol, taken from an African
symbol for "thank you," as he used it on his personal stationery and as
a Scouting badge from the beginning to about 1938. He at first resisted
withdrawing use of the symbol just because an extreme political party in
Germany was using it, claiming first right. He only withdrew it as a
Scouting badge (I think for consistent good turns, thus the "thanks")
when Scouts started being accosted and beaten up for wearing it. --
Good place for a Troop to visit when hiking the Freedom Trail in Boston |
