{{Main|Fleur-de-lis in Scouting}}

The ''fleur-de-lis'' is the main element in the logo of most [[Scouting]] organizations. The symbol was first used by [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Sir Robert Baden-Powell]] as an arm-[[badge]] for soldiers who qualified as [[Scout (military)|scouts]] (reconnaissance specialists) in the [[5th Dragoon Guards]], which he commanded at the end of the 19th century; it was later used in [[cavalry]] regiments throughout the [[British Army]] until 1921. In 1907, Baden-Powell made brass ''fleur-de-lis'' badges for the boys attending his first experimental "Boy Scout" camp at [[Brownsea Island]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scoutingmilestones.co.uk/badges |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207011337/http://www.scoutingmilestones.co.uk/badges |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-12-07 |title=The Evolution of The World Badge |last1=Walker |first1=Colin |date=March 2007 |website=Scouting Milestones |access-date=11 December 2013 }}</ref> In his seminal book ''[[Scouting for Boys]]'', Baden-Powell referred to the motif as "the arrowhead which shows the North on a map or a compass" and continued; "It is the Badge of the Scout because it points in the right direction and upward&nbsp;... The three points remind you of the three points of the [[Scout Promise]]",<ref>Baden-Powell, Robert [http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/yarn03.pdf ''Scouting for Boys''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141023161825/http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/yarn03.pdf |date=23 October 2014 }}, Arthur Pearson, (''Campfire Yarn No. 3 – Becoming a Scout'')</ref> being duty to God and country, helping others, and keeping the [[Scout Law]]. The [[World Scout Emblem]] of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] has elements which are used by most national Scout organizations. The stars stand for truth and knowledge, the encircling rope for unity, and its [[reef knot]] or square knot, service.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://troop25longbeach.com/Fleur-de-Lis.aspx |title=Origin of the World Scouting Symbol 'Fleur-de-lis' |publisher=Troop 25, Scouting of America |location=US |access-date=30 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717104241/http://troop25longbeach.com/Fleur-de-Lis.aspx |archive-date=17 July 2011}}</ref>
