The organization of Boy Scouts of America turns 100 years old on Feb. 8. Most people know that the Scouts were founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell in England, but the Scouts in America were begun shortly thereafter by William D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher, on Feb. 8, 1910, following a business meeting in London and an unexpected meeting with Baden-Powell.
