===Robert Baden-Powell=== In July 1906, [[Ernest Thompson Seton]] sent [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]] a copy of his book ''The Birchbark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians''. Seton was a British-born Canadian-American living in the United States. They shared ideas about youth training programs.<ref name="SetonInfed">{{cite web |year=2002 |url=http://www.infed.org/thinkers/seton.htm |title=Ernest Thompson Seton and Woodcraft |publisher=InFed |access-date=2006-12-07}}</ref><ref name="BPInfed">{{cite web |year=2002 |title=Robert Baden-Powell as an Educational Innovator |publisher=InFed |url=http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-bp.htm |access-date=2006-12-07}}</ref> In 1907 Baden-Powell wrote a draft called ''Boy Patrols''. In the same year, to test his ideas, he gathered 21 boys of mixed social backgrounds and held a week-long camp in August on [[Brownsea Island Scout camp|Brownsea Island]] in England.<ref>{{cite book|author=Woolgar, Brian|author2=La Riviere, Sheila|year=2002|title=Why Brownsea? The Beginnings of Scouting |publisher=Brownsea Island Scout and Guide Management Committee}}</ref> His organizational method, now known as the Patrol System and a key part of Scouting training, allowed the boys to organize themselves into small groups with an elected patrol leader.<ref>{{cite web |author=Johnny Walker| title=Scouting Milestones β Brownsea Island|url=http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/brownsea.htm|access-date=2006-07-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614022349/http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/brownsea.htm|archive-date=2011-06-14}}</ref> Baden Powell then wrote ''[[Scouting for Boys]]'' (London, 1908). The Brownsea camp and the publication of ''Scouting for Boys'' are generally regarded as the start of the Scout movement which spread throughout the world. Baden-Powell and his sister [[Agnes Baden-Powell]] introduced the [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Girl Guides]] in 1910.
