Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the Scout movement and citizen training in Great Britain, 1900–1920

Foreign Connections of Hungarian Scouts (especially as Witnessed by the Journal Magyar Cserkész 1938/39)

“…Lord Baden-Powell wanted to promote the transformation of society via a youth brought up in the spirit of Scouting, enhance the cooperation between nations by means of scouting connections overarching country borders, and thus, aid the development of a peaceful world. 21 After 1920, the scouts regularly organized the World Jamboree (the grand Scout meeting) and convened the International Scout Conference.
