Boy Scout Camp

"However, before he published [Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell] tested out his methods with a small experimental camp on Brownsea Island.... Wild and well wooded, with sandy shores, it was good Scouting country and, more importantly perhaps, from B.-P.'s point of view, it was remote and unobserved. To this island, then, came men, boys and gear, and on 29th July, 1907, the historic camp began."
