Boy scout \Boy scout\
Orig., a member of the "Boy Scouts," an organization of boys
founded in 1908, by Sir R. S. S. Baden-Powell, to promote
good citizenship by creating in them a spirit of civic duty
and of usefulness to others, by stimulating their interest in
wholesome mental, moral, industrial, and physical activities,
etc. Hence, a member of any of the other similar
organizations, which are now worldwide. In "The Boy Scouts of
America" the local councils are generally under a scout
commissioner, under whose supervision are scout masters, each
in charge of a troop of two or more patrols of eight scouts
each, who are of three classes, tenderfoot, second-class
scout, and first-class scout.
