Amerika boy skautlari tarixi
Tashkil etilgan	1910
Skautlar portali

The Amerikaning Boy Skautlari (BSA) dan ilhomlangan va namuna olgan Skautlar uyushmasi tomonidan tashkil etilgan Baden-Pauell Britaniyada 1908 yilda. 1900 yillarning boshlarida bir nechta yoshlar tashkilotlari faol bo'lgan va ko'plari BSA tarkibiga kirgan (qarang. Qo'shma Shtatlardagi skautlar ).

BSA 1910 yilda tashkil topgan va tez o'sib, Qo'shma Shtatlardagi eng yirik yoshlar tashkilotiga aylangan. Dastlabki muammolar irq, "yosh bola muammosi" va "katta bola muammosi" bilan bog'liq edi. Dastlab qo'shinlar poyga bo'yicha mahalliy jamoatchilik siyosatiga rioya qilishdi. Kichik o'g'il bolalar uchun Cubbing dasturi paydo bo'ldi va katta bolalar uchun Rovering va Exploring dasturlari ishlab chiqildi. Dasturni kunning yoshlariga moslashtirish uchun yillar davomida qo'shimcha dasturlar va o'zgarishlar yuz berdi.

W. D. Boys va noma'lum skaut

W. D. Boys Amerika gazetasi odami va tadbirkori edi. Afsonalarga ko'ra, u Londonning tumanli ko'chasida noma'lum skaut unga yordamga kelganda, uni manziliga qaytarib olib borishda adashgan.^[1] Bola Boysnikidan bosh tortdi uchi, u shunchaki Boy Skaut vazifasini bajarayotganini tushuntirib berdi. Shundan so'ng darhol Boyz uchrashdi General Robert Baden-Pauell, kimning boshlig'i edi Skautlar uyushmasi shu vaqtda. Boyz Amerikaga qaytib keldi va to'rt oy o'tib Amerikaning Boy Skautlarini tashkil qildi. Afsonaning ushbu versiyasi ko'plab BSA qo'llanmalarida va jurnallarida bosilgan. Ushbu afsonaning bir nechta farqlari mavjud, masalan, u skaut haqida oldindan bilishini da'vo qilgan.

Aslida Boyz Londonda safari tomon yo'l olganida to'xtadi Britaniya Sharqiy Afrika. Unga noma'lum skaut yordam bergani va pul berishdan bosh tortgani haqiqat. Ammo bu skaut unga ko'chadan o'tib, mehmonxonaga borishga yordam bergan, uni skautlar shtab-kvartirasiga olib bormagan va Boys hech qachon Baden-Pauell bilan uchrashmagan. Boytsning iltimosiga binoan noma'lum skaut unga skautlar shtab-kvartirasining manzilini berdi, u erda Boys o'zi bordi va guruh haqida ma'lumot oldi.^[2] Ob-havo ma'lumotlariga ko'ra, o'sha kuni Londonda tuman bo'lmagan. Boyz o'zining safari ortidan Londonga qaytib keldi va yana skautlar shtab-kvartirasiga tashrif buyurib, undan foydalanishga erishdi O'g'il bolalar uchun skaut AQSh skautlari dasturini ishlab chiqishda. Afsonaning bu va boshqa elementlari tomonidan targ'ib qilingan Jeyms E. G'arb 1915 yilda Boysni tobora kuchayib borayotgan mojaroni bartaraf etish uchun BSA ning haqiqiy asoschisi sifatida barpo etishga yordam berish Daniel Karter Soqol va Ernest Tompson Seton kim BSA asoschisi deb hisoblanishi kerakligi to'g'risida.^[3][4] Ushbu hikoyaning elementlari, shu jumladan tuman, haqidagi hikoyadan olingan bo'lishi mumkin Roy-Aylend Boy Skautlari.^[5]

Skaut AQShga keladi

Ogayo shtati Kolumbus shahridan 10-qo'shin, 1918 yil

Adams, Nebraska Boy Skautlar guruhi 1913 yil

Boyz AQShga va Edvard S. Styuart va Stenli D. Uillis bilan birga qaytdi. U 1910 yil 8 fevralda Amerikaning Boy Skautlarini birlashtirdi va a Kongress ustavi. Hisob-kitob uchun nizom bilan bog'langan Rokfeller jamg'armasi va Boys ko'p kechiktirgandan so'ng uni qaytarib oldi. Shu vaqt atrofida, Uilyam Randolf Xerst, raqib gazetachi, tashkil etdi Amerikalik boy skautlar (ABS), 1918 yilgacha davom etgan guruh. Biznes va sayohat o'rtasida Boys yangi tashkilotga ko'p vaqt sarflamadi. Edgar M. Robinson, katta ma'muri YMCA Nyu-York shahrida, yangi Boy Skaut dasturi to'g'risida bilib, Chikagoga bordi va u erda Boytsga milliy tashkilot sifatida Boy Skautlarni tashkil qilishda yordam berishga rozi bo'ldi. Boyz dasturni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun bir yil davomida oyiga 1000 dollar ajratishni va'da qildi, ammo hisobotlarda faqat uchta yoki to'rtta to'lov amalga oshirilganligi ko'rsatilgan. Robinson a'zolarni qidirishni boshlash uchun Nyu-Yorkka qaytib keldi. 1910 yil boshidagi bir qator uchrashuvlardan so'ng, Woodcraft hindulari boshchiligidagi Ernest Tompson Seton, polkovnik Piter Bomus boshchiligidagi Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlarining Boy Skautlari va Polkovnik boshchiligidagi Amerikaning Milliy Skautlari Uilyam Verbek BSA tarkibiga singib ketgan.^[6] Polkovnik E. S. Kornell boshchiligidagi Milliy avtomagistral patrul uyushmasi skautlari va Boy kashshoflar Deniel Karter Soqol boshchiligidagi (ilgari Doniyor Boonning o'g'illari deb tanilgan) buklangan. The BSA milliy idorasi 1910 yil 1-iyunda Nyu-York shahridagi 28-chi YMCA-da ochilgan. Birinchi boshqaruvchi kotib ( Bosh skaut ijrochi Jon Aleksandr edi, a YMCA ma'muri dan Filadelfiya, Pensilvaniya. Kuzga qadar BSAda 44 shtatdan 2500 ta etakchi ariza va 150,900 ta yoshlar so'rovlari mavjud edi.^[7]

Milliy kengash 1910 yil kuzida tashkil topgan Colin H. Livingstone milliy prezident sifatida Robinson boshqaruvchi kotibga aylanadi (YMCAdan vaqtincha ta'tilda) va Seton bosh skaut sifatida. Soqol, Bomus va Verbek milliy skautga aylandi komissarlar. Seton yozgan Yog'ochdan yasalgan buyumlar, skautlar va hayot hunarmandchiligi bo'yicha qo'llanma, hozirgi nashrning asl nusxasi Boy skautlar uchun qo'llanma. U shoshilib nashr etildi va ko'rib chiqish uchun potentsial rahbarlarga yuborildi. Robinson YMCA-dagi doimiy ish joyiga qaytishni istadi, shuning uchun Livingstone uning o'rnini bosish uchun so'rovlar yubordi. Ular yollashdi Jeyms E. G'arb, bolalar huquqlari himoyachisi sifatida tanilgan, tashabbuskor yosh advokat. G'arbiy 35 yil davom etgan olti oylik vaqtincha ishga yollandi.

Jeyms Uest va dastlabki kunlar

Amerikaning asl boy skautlari emblemasi

BSA yangi ofisi 200 Beshinchi avenyu 1911 yil yanvar oyida ochilgan,^[8] G'arb boshchiligida va harakat tez sur'atlar bilan o'sishni boshladi. G'arbning birinchi vazifalaridan biri Setonning qo'llanmasidagi Britaniyada joylashgan dasturni qayta ko'rib chiqish va uni amerikalik o'g'il bolalar uchun moslashtirish edi. G'arb uchinchi qismni kengaytirishda muhim rol o'ynadi Skaut qasamyodi:

Boshqa odamlarga doimo yordam berish; o'zimni jismonan baquvvat, aqlan bedor va axloqan to'g'ri tutish.

U shuningdek, uchta qismni qo'shishga undadi Skautlar to'g'risidagi qonun: jasur, toza va hurmatli. Keyin u diniy tamoyil sifatida tanilgan BSA konstitutsiyasining III moddasini bosdi:

Amerikaning Boy Skautlari, hech bir a'zo Xudo oldidagi majburiyatini anglamay turib, eng yaxshi fuqaroga aylana olmaydi, deb hisoblaydi.

BSA o'sishi bilan ma'muriyat usuli sifatida mahalliy kengash kontseptsiyasi o'sdi. Mahalliy kengash bilan boshlandi Komissar xizmati. Mahalliy komissarlar birinchi kengashlarni tuzdilar va skautmasterni bevosita qo'llab-quvvatlash an'analarini boshladilar. Birinchi toifadagi kengashda pullik komissar bor edi va har 25 sentlik ro'yxatdan 15 sentni, ko'ngilli komissarlar bilan ikkinchi darajali kengashlar esa besh sentni ushlab turishlari mumkin edi. Birinchi yillik yig'ilish 1911 yil fevralda bo'lib o'tdi oq uy. Qo'shma Shtatlar Prezidenti - o'shanda kelishib olindi Uilyam Xovard Taft - BSAning faxriy prezidenti bo'lishi kerak edi. O'shandan beri har bir AQSh prezidenti Ijroiya Kengashi tomonidan BSAning faxriy prezidenti etib saylandi. Sobiq prezident Teodor Ruzvelt bosh skaut fuqarosi va faxriy vitse-prezident sifatida tanlangan. Gifford Pinchot bosh Woodsman sifatida tanlangan.

Qo'llanmaning yangi nashri - O'g'il bolalar uchun rasmiy qo'llanma nashr etildi. G'arb 1911 yil noyabrida unvonga sazovor bo'lganida unvonining o'zgarishi tufayli obro'-e'tibor ko'tarildi Bosh skaut ijrochi. U va uning xodimlari tashkilot tuzilishi uchun asos bo'lgan ikkita talabni yaratdilar, bular qo'shin nizomlarini jamoat tashkilotiga yoki belgilangan fuqarolar guruhiga berish talabidir (dastlab homiy tashkilot sifatida tanilgan va hozirda nizomli tashkilot sifatida tanilgan). , ikkinchidan, har bir skaut ustasi ro'yxatdan o'tgan qo'shin qo'mitasi raisi va skautter yoki uning yordamchilari bo'lmagan kamida ikki a'zodan iborat nazorat ostida bo'lishi.

1912 yil fevral oyida Baden-Pauell Qo'shma Shtatlarga qaytib keldi va G'arbiy gastrolda unga hamroh bo'ldi. Baden-Pauellning ta'kidlashicha, BSA yaxshi aloqalarga muhtoj. Ijroiya kengash bilan munozaralardan so'ng Boys jurnalni Chikagodagi kompaniyasi tomonidan nashr etilsa, uni moliyalashtirishni taklif qildi. Livingstone taklifni rad etdi va kengash jurnalning Nyu-Yorkdagi ofisidan chiqarilishini istashini ta'kidladi. Boyz barcha ma'muriy vazifalardan voz kechdi va gazeta boshqaruviga qaytdi.^[9] G'arb skautlar jurnali deb nomlangan O'g'il bolalar hayoti va uni sotib olish uchun tavsiya qildi. Birinchi qopqoq Norman Rokvell, Kema g'ildiragida skaut, 1913 yil sentyabrda nashr etilgan. 1912 yilda, Dengiz razvedkasi inglizlarga asoslangan rasmiy dasturga aylandi Dengiz skauti dastur. Artur Rouz Eldred birinchi bo'ldi Eagle Scout 1912 yilda.

Dastlabki tortishuvlar

Asl qo'llanmada Baden-Pauellning qo'llanmasidagi ko'plab materiallar ishlatilgan. Ish beruvchilarga sodiqlik haqidagi izohlar kasaba uyushmalariga tegishli Dunyo sanoat ishchilari yilda Portlend, Oregon 1912 yilgi tur davomida baland ovoz bilan norozilik bildirdi. Ushbu sharhlar 1911 yilgi nashrdan olib tashlandi va G'arb raqib amerikalik Boy Skautlarning ko'p ish pozitsiyalarini yaratdi.

Dasturning boshida afroamerikaliklarning ishtirokiga qarshi norozilik namoyishlari bo'lib o'tdi. Boyz ketgach, Boy Skautlar korporatsiyasini Boy Skautlar irqi yoki e'tiqodi bo'yicha kamsitmaslik sharti bilan Ijroiya Kengashi a'zolariga topshirdi.^[10] BSA afroamerikaliklarni kiritish kerak, ammo mahalliy jamoalar maktab tizimida olib borgan siyosatiga amal qilishi kerak degan pozitsiyani o'rnatdi. Shunday qilib, Amerikaning janubiy qismining aksariyat qismi va ko'plab yirik shimoliy jamoalari 1940 yillarning oxiriga qadar "rangli qo'shinlar" bilan ajratilgan dasturlarga ega edilar. Janubdagi ba'zi qo'shinlar afroamerikalik skautlarga ruxsat berilsa, BSA ni tark etib, kiyimlarini yoqib yuborish bilan tahdid qilishdi, ammo G'arb bu to'siqlarni engib o'tishda muhim rol o'ynadi.^[4]

BSA qat'iy protestant tashkiloti bo'lgan YMCA bilan erta va mustahkam aloqada bo'lganligi sababli, katolik cherkovi o'g'il bolalariga qo'shilishni taqiqladi. Katoliklar BSA-ni 1913 yilda qabul qilishgan, ammo qo'shinlar katolik kattalar rahbarligida katolik bo'lishgan. O'sha yili, Oxirgi kun avliyolari Iso Masihning cherkovi ular bilan bog'liq O'zaro takomillashtirish assotsiatsiyasi shunga o'xshash cheklovlar bilan BSA bilan.

Gacha Birinchi jahon urushi, militarizm va pasifizm BSA tarkibida ziddiyatli bo'lgan. Buyuk urushga kelib, ko'pchilik jangni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun kelgan edi.

Oldingi yillarda Birinchi jahon urushi, pasifizm va vatanparvarlik ko'pincha to'qnashuvlarga duch keldi va BSA ba'zan o'rtada edi. Ba'zilar BSAni juda militaristik deb o'ylashdi, ayniqsa ularning harbiy uslubi va tartib-intizomi bilan ajralib tursa, boshqalari BSA harbiy tayyorgarlikka qarshi pozitsiyasida vatanparvar emas deb o'ylashdi. 1912 yilda boshqa tashkilotning a'zosi Amerikalik boy skautlar, boshqa bir bolani miltiq bilan otib tashlagan. G'arb tezda BSA-ni ABS dasturidan va har qanday harbiy tayyorgarlik yoki intizomdan uzoqlashtirdi. U BSA Supply guruhini sotishga ruxsat berishdan bosh tortdi Remington miltig'i ABS tomonidan tasdiqlangan va "Marksmanship for merit" nishonini bekor qilgan. The Milliy miltiq uyushmasi ko'krak nishoni berish uchun Ijroiya Kengashni lobbi qildi. 1914 yilda polkovnik Leonard Vud yilda pasifistik maqola chop etilganidan so'ng Kengash tarkibidan ketdi O'g'il bolalar hayoti u "deyarli xiyonatkor" deb hisoblagan. Oxir-oqibat, ritorika tinchlanib, BSA "Marksmanship" xizmatining nishonini berishni boshladi. Militarizm va skautlar masalasida Baden-Pauell urushni etarlicha ko'rganligini va "... o'g'il bolalar bir kun kelib o'z mamlakatlari uchun kurashishlari uchun ularni o'qitayapmiz degan fikrdan uzoqroq tutish kerak. Hozir kerak bo'lgan urush skautlari emas, balki tinchlik skautlari. " Baden-Pauell, shuningdek, BSA ni juda byurokratik deb o'ylagan.^[11]

Ning asl ishlatilishi fleur-de-lis timsol sifatida uni urushning ramzi deb hisoblagan ba'zi pasifistik tashkilotlarga qarshi edi. Soqol burgutni belgiga qo'shdi va uni bilan bog'ladi kompas atirgul. Bu Soqol va Seton o'rtasidagi yana bir to'qnashuv edi, chunki Seton Skaut emblemasida bo'rini siqib chiqargan va shu narsa ramzi sifatida Eagle Scout mukofot.

1910 yildayoq Soqol va Seton Skautning asoschisi kim ekanligi haqida tortishib qolishdi. 1902 yilda Seton, 1905 yilda Soqol va 1906 yilda Baden-Pauell tomonidan o'g'il bolalar uchun dasturlar ishlab chiqilgan. Baden-Pauell dasturning ayrim qismlarini Seton asariga asoslaganligi sababli Seton asoschi deb da'vo qilmoqda. 1915 yilga kelib, ziddiyatlar avj oldi va vaziyatni yumshatish maqsadida G'arb Bo'yni BSA asoschisi sifatida ta'kidlagan Noma'lum skaut haqidagi hikoyani targ'ib qila boshladi. Seton hali ham Kanada fuqaroligiga ega edi va bu BSAda ba'zi odamlarni, shu jumladan G'arbni ham "bizning begona do'stimiz" deb atagan. Kengash Setonni 1915 yilda bosh skaut etib qayta saylamadi va u tez orada nashr etishni to'xtatdi O'g'il bolalar hayoti. 1916 yil boshiga kelib Seton BSA dasturidan rasman chiqib ketdi va uning hissalarining aksariyati qo'llanmaning 1916 yilgi nashridan olib tashlandi. Keyinchalik Seton o'zining eski asarlari asosida Woodcraft Ligasini tashkil etdi va ularni aslida BSAga qo'shilmaganligini da'vo qildi.

Boyz vaqt va joylashuvi sababli qo'shin tarkibida ishtirok eta olmaydigan o'g'il bolalarga xizmat ko'rsatadigan dasturni ilgari surgan edi, ammo G'arb bunday dasturga qarshi edi. 1915 yilda Boys Amerikaning yolg'iz skautlari (LSA) va o'zining barcha yangi o'g'illarini a'zo sifatida va o'zini "Bosh Totem" sifatida investitsiya qildi. Keyinchalik BSA 1916 yilda kashshof skautlarni asosan o'rtacha qishloq aholisiga etkazish sifatida tashkil etdi.^[12] 1924 yilda LSA BSAga qo'shildi va keyingi o'n yil davomida Qishloq Skautlar bo'limi sifatida boshqarildi.

G'arb bu atamani qattiq himoya qildi Skaut va skautlik mahsulotlarini sotish huquqi. Amerikalik Boy Skautlar Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Boy Skautlari (USBS) sifatida qayta paydo bo'lganda, G'arb sudga murojaat qildi va g'alaba qozondi. USBS-ning nomi Amerika kadetlari deb o'zgartirildi, ammo tez orada buklangan. Najot armiyasining hayotni saqlovchi skautlari 1930 yillarda to'plangan. 1930 yilga kelib, G'arb 435 guruhdan ruxsatsiz foydalanishni to'xtatgan deb da'vo qildi Skaut tashkiliy nomning bir qismi va tijorat mahsulotlarining bir qismi sifatida. Qachon Amerikalik qizlar uchun qo'llanma boshladi, G'arb dasturni tushkunlikka tushirdi. G'arbiy oldinroq Lyuter Gulik bilan ishlagan Lagerdagi yong'in qizlari tashkil etilgan va har doim ularni BSA ning qardosh dasturi deb hisoblashgan. Qiz skautlar 1918 yilda o'z ismlaridan voz kechishni rad etganda, G'arb hech qanday natija bermay Baden-Pauellga murojaat qildi. Lou Genri Xover 1922 yilda skaut qizlarning prezidenti bo'ldi va Birinchi xonim 1929 yilda; G'arbiy qiz skautlar nomini o'zgartirish kampaniyasini to'xtatdi.

G'arb tomonidan amalga oshirilgan qat'iy nazorat bilan BSA va YMCA o'rtasidagi munosabatlar yomonlashdi, bu YMCA homiyligidagi qo'shinlarning bekor qilinishiga olib keldi. 1918 yilda Robinzon^{[JSSV? ]} YMCA qo'shinlari BSAning filialini tashkil etishni taklif qildi, chunki Qizil uchburchak skautlari, G'arb uni rad etdi, chunki u milliy tashkilot va qo'shinlardan boshqa tuzilishga yo'l qo'ymaydi.^[13]

Birinchi jahon urushi va undan keyin

Boy skautlar Nyu-York shahrida ko'chalarga chiqishmoqda, 1917 yil

Boy Skautlar Prezidentning inauguratsiyasida olomonni nazorat qilish vazifasini bajargan Vudro Uilson 1913 yilda va ba'zi tantanali rollardan beri har bir inauguratsiyada xizmat qilgan. Filadelfiya hududiy kengashi "deb nomlangan skautlar hurmat jamiyatini boshladi Okning tartibi 1915 yilda bu oxir-oqibat Boy Skaut dasturining muhim qismiga aylandi.

Pol Sleman, Kolin H. Livingstone, Ernest S. Martin va Jeyms E. G'arb Kongressni muvaffaqiyatli lobbichilik qildi Kongress ustavi^[14] BSA uchun - qisman raqobat bilan kurashish usuli sifatida Amerikaning yolg'iz skautlari,^[15] Prezident Vudro Uilson 1916 yil 15-iyunda imzolagan.^[16]

Ushbu korporatsiyaning maqsadi tashkil etish va boshqa idoralar bilan hamkorlik qilish orqali o'g'il bolalarning o'zi va boshqalar uchun biron bir narsa qilish qobiliyatini targ'ib qilish, ularni skautlik mashg'ulotlariga o'rgatish va vatanparvarlikka o'rgatishdir. jasorat Boy Skautlar tomonidan keng qo'llaniladigan usullardan foydalangan holda, o'ziga ishonish va qarindoshlik fazilatlari.

Bundan tashqari, quyidagilar: Ogiloning Hamilton shahridan Uorren Gard (1873-1929), 1913-1921 yillarda AQSh Kongress a'zosi bo'lib ishlagan. U Xamiltonda advokat va sudya ham bo'lgan. Vakil Gardning yutuqlaridan biri bu Amerikaning Boy Skautlarini o'z ichiga olgan va ularning milliy nizomlarini yaratgan H.R.755ning parchasini yozish, tanishtirish va ta'minlash edi. Kongress ushbu qonunni bir ovozdan qabul qildi va Prezident Uilson 1916 yil 15-iyunda qonunni imzoladi. Yuz yil o'tgach, 2016 yil 12-noyabrda Uorren Gardni sharaflagan Ogayo shtatining tarixiy belgisi Xamilton shahridagi Grinvud qabristonidagi qabr toshiga yaqin qo'yildi. Gardning hayoti davomida erishgan yutuqlarini sharaflash. Uning buyuk jiyani Ketlin Steki Foks bu shaxsni tanib olish sharafiga muyassar bo'lmagan Buyuk amakisi Uorren uchun ushbu markerni yaratish uchun barcha fon va oyoq ishlarini qildi.

Urush paytida radio uzatish moslamalari tartibga solingan va skautlar ruxsatsiz bo'linmalarni qidirishga chaqirilgan. Skautlar xabar yuguruvchilar, qirg'oqni kuzatuvchilar sifatida ishlatilgan va xizmatga kelmagan erkaklar uchun ogoh bo'lishlari kerak edi. 352 million dollardan ortiq urush zanjirlari skautlar tomonidan 101 million dollarlik urushni tejash markalari bilan birga sotilgan. Ular qayta ishlash uchun mevali chuqurchalarni yig'ishdi ko'mir uchun gaz maskalari vintlardek va qurol zaxiralari sifatida ishlatish uchun inventarizatsiya qilingan qora yong'oq daraxtlari. War Garden dasturi skautlar uchun uyda oziq-ovqat etishtirishga mo'ljallangan edi, ammo o'rtacha darajada muvaffaqiyatli bo'lgan.^[17]

1919 yilda Baden-Pauell AQShga qaytib kelgach, BSA katta miting o'tkazdi Markaziy Park va keyinchalik generalning qaytishi uchun miting Jon J. Pershing. Urush paytida, agar skautter xizmatga chaqirilsa, qo'shinlar ko'payishga moyil ekanligi ta'kidlangan. Qo'shinlar tarkibidagi o'zgarishlar tarkibiga 32 skaut bilan cheklanish, qo'shin qo'mitasi va patrul xizmati boshlig'i lavozimi kiritildi. Skautlar uchun qo'shma skaut, faxriy skaut va kashshof skaut dasturlari bo'shashgan yoki qo'shin tarkibiga kirmagan. Birinchi darajali kengashlarda pullik komissiyalarni tanlab, birinchi skaut rahbarlari bo'la boshladilar va kasbiy rivojlanishning dastlabki dasturi amalga oshirildi. Teodor Ruzvelt 1919 yil yanvarda vafot etdi, Dan Soqol har yili bo'lib o'tadigan tadbirda oktyabr oyida qabrga skautlarning haj ziyoratini olib bordi.

BSA 1920 yilga katta kontingent yubordi Jahon skautlari Jambori. Baden-Pauell G'arb va Livingstonega kumush bo'rini sovg'a qildi. G'arbga nima bo'lganligi uchun konstitutsiya va qonun osti hujjatlarini yozishga ishontirildi Butunjahon skautlar harakati tashkiloti (WOSM). Butunjahon harakatining bir qismi sifatida BSA chap qo'l siqish va yangi formani qabul qildi: baland bo'yli ko'ylagi ko'ylak va ro'mol bilan almashtirildi va tanlov sifatida shortilar qo'shildi.

Nyu-York shahridagi qo'shinlarning yuqori konsentratsiyasi bilan ma'muriyat og'irlik qila boshladi. 1921 yilda, Franklin Delano Ruzvelt Nyu-York tuman kengashlarini nazorat qiluvchi fondni boshqarishga ishontirildi. YMCA ma'muri doktor Jorj J. Fisher bosh skaut ijrochi o'rinbosari sifatida qabul qilindi. AQSh 12 ta mintaqani, so'ngra to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Milliy Kengashga hisobot beradigan sohalarga bo'lindi. O'g'il bolalar hayoti 1923 yilga kelib moliyaviy muammolarga duch keldi va G'arb muharrir sifatida ish boshladi. Jeyms J. ertaga 1925 yilda Kolin Livingstone o'rnini egalladi va Uilyam Xilkort, keyinchalik "Yashil Bar Bill" nomi bilan tanilgan, BSA bilan assotsiatsiyasini boshladi. Uchun birinchi dastur Nogiron skautlar 1923 yilda kiritilgan.^[18] Ertaga 1926 yilda vafot etganidan keyin, Milton A. Makrey qisqacha prezident bo'ldi, keyin esa Uolter V. Bosh. The Kumush Buffalo mukofoti 1926 yilda yaratilgan: birinchi mukofotlar noma'lum skaut Baden-Pauellga (haykal sifatida taqdim etilgan Gilvel bog'i ), W. D. Boyce, Livingstone, ertaga (o'limdan keyin) Soqol, Seton va Robinzon. Charlz Lindberg 1927 yilda 18-faxriy skaut sifatida saylandi va 1928 yilda kumush bufalo bilan taqdirlandi.

Maktabdan tashqarida bo'lgan va ish bilan ta'minlangan o'g'il bolalarni qamrab olish uchun bir qator "sanoat qo'shinlari".^[19] Qishloq skautlari dasturi 1926 yilda temir yo'l izlovchilar dasturi bilan kengaytirildi.^[20] BSA Negr Scouting dasturini kengaytira boshladi: 1927 yilga kelib janubdagi o'ttiz ikkita jamoada "rangli qo'shinlar" paydo bo'ldi, ularning tarkibida yigirma oltita qo'shin bor edi. Louisville, Kentukki.^[21] Skautterning kichik yordamchisi 1926 yilda tashkil etilgan va Eagle Palms 1927 yilda qo'shilgan. O'g'il bolalar hayoti 1928 yilda Afrikaga uchta skautlar uchun fotosuratni targ'ib qildi. Uch skaut - Robert Duglas, Devid Martin va Duglas Oliver kitob yozdilar Afrikadagi uchta skaut qaytib kelganlarida, ushbu sayohat uchun tanlanish talabining bir qismi sifatida Martin va Osa Jonson, Afrikadagi safari filmlari va fotosuratlari bilan tanilgan amerikalik fotosuratchilar.

1960-yillar

1960-yillarda deyarli har bir toifadagi BSA-ga a'zolikning eng yuqori davrlari kuzatildi Baby Boomer avlodning skaut yoshidagi o'g'illari mamlakat bo'ylab to'plamlarga va qo'shinlarga qo'shilishgan. Tadqiqot asosiy e'tibor sifatida martaba izlashga ko'proq yo'naltirilgan edi. BSA o'z qoidalari va qoidalarida irqiy kamsitishni qat'iyan taqiqlagani uchun ko'pchilik tomonidan olqishlandi.

1970-yillarda BSA o'zini "" deb nomlash uchun harakat qildi.Skaut / AQSh."^[26] Ular 1980 yilga kelib bu harakatlaridan voz kechishdi.

The milliy shtab ko'chib o'tdi Irving, Texas 1979 yilda.^[27]

Ochiq havoda ko'nikmalar bekor qilingan

1972 yil sentyabr oyida Boy Skautlar "takomillashtirilgan skautlar dasturi" ni ishga tushirishdi va tubdan qayta ko'rib chiqilgan qo'llanmani chop etib, uchta quyi qator uchun tashqi makon mahoratiga unchalik ahamiyat bermadilar. Yurish, lager va pazandalik uchun mahorat mukofotlari ochiq havoda ko'nikmalarga bo'lgan talablarni o'z ichiga olgan va Ikkinchi va Birinchi darajali skautlar uchun talab qilingan. Eagle Scout bo'lish uchun talab qilinadiganlar ro'yxatidan tashqi makon uchun bir nechta nishonlar olib tashlandi; ro'yxatdan chiqarib tashlanganlar orasida kemping, pazandalik, tabiat, suzish va hayotni saqlab qolish bor. The Skaut kemalari ma'lumotlar va talablar giyohvandlik, oilaviy moliya, bolalarni parvarish qilish va jamiyat muammolari to'g'risidagi ma'lumotlar bilan almashtirildi.^[28] Dan foydalanish bola ta'kidlangan: qo'llanmaning sakkizinchi nashri sodda nomlangan Skautlar uchun qo'llanma va ishlatilgan yangi strategik logotip Skaut / AQSh.^[26] Shaxsiy o'sish bo'yicha konferentsiyalar kontseptsiyasi har bir darajaga talab sifatida kiritilgan.

Boshqa o'zgarishlar qatoriga barcha darajalar va lavozimlar uchun yangi rangli matolardan yasalgan nishonlar va "mahorat mukofotlari" kiritildi, ular kamarga taqilgan metall halqa bilan ifodalandi, ular ishlagan vaqtida darhol berildi.^[28] Ular individual daraja talablarini to'ldirdilar, ular xizmat nishonlari bilan bir qatorda darhol taqdim etilib, keyinroq tan olindi sharaf sudi. "Merit" nishoni dasturi - ilgari faqat birinchi daraja va undan yuqori darajalarda mavjud edi - barcha darajalarda ochildi va "Tenderfoot", "ikkinchi daraja" va "birinchi toifalar" uchun nishonlar talab qilindi. Eagle Scout uchun talab qilinadigan munosib yorliqlar soni 24 taga ko'paytirildi va "Camping merit" nishoni talab qilinadigan ro'yxatdan chiqarildi. Agar bola beshinchi sinfni tugatgan bo'lsa, kirish yoshi 11 yoki 10-to ga o'zgartirildi.^[28]

1971 yilda Cub Scout va'dasi "to'rtburchak bo'lish" dan "boshqa odamlarga yordam berish" ga o'zgartirildi kvadrat ma'nosidan ketdi halol ga qat'iy ravishda an'anaviy. Boy Skautlar yangi Webelos nishonini taqdim etishdi va avvalgi Webelos nishonini Nur Okiga aylantirishdi.

Birinchi marotaba qo'llanmada zamonaviy tabiatni muhofaza qilish amaliyoti ta'kidlanib, kashshoflikka e'tibor bermaslik, pichoq va boltadan zamonaviy foydalanishni joriy etish. Chodirlar atrofida xandaq yasashning halokatli amaliyotini yo'q qildi.^[28]

Katta boy skaut dasturi o'rnini Etakchilik korpusi egalladi. Dastlab etakchilik korpusi 14–15 rahbarlar bilan cheklangan; katta yoshdagi o'g'il bolalar skuter ustalarining kichik yordamchisiga aylanishi yoki Exploring-ga o'tishi kutilgan edi. Etakchilik korpusi 1979 yilda to'xtatilguniga qadar o'rmon yashil ko'ylakni Skaut BSA tasmasi bilan kiyib yurishi mumkin edi. Rahbarlik korpusining yamog'i patrul patchining o'rniga kiyib yurilgan edi, yamoqning birinchi versiyasi trapezoidal bo'lib, uning o'rniga 1987 yilda yumaloq yamoq o'rnatilgan edi Qizil beret dastlab "Leadership Corps" uchun ishlab chiqarilgan va 1973 yilda qo'shin kiyish uchun kengaytirilgan.^[29]

Kichik rahbarlarni o'qitish qayta ko'rib chiqildi

Dan moslashtirilgan Troop Leader Development (TLD) White Stag rahbariyatini rivojlantirish dasturi, 1974 yilda yoshlar etakchilarini tayyorlash uchun joriy qilingan.^[30] Cornerstone dasturi kattalar rahbarlarini o'qitish uchun joriy qilingan. Kursni tugatgan etakchilar etakchining emblemasining millar ip bilan ishlangan, yorqin ko'rinishini bergan maxsus versiyasi bilan tan olindi.^[31]

20-asrning 20-yillari boshidan BSA bir nechta shtatlarning hududlaridan iborat bo'lgan har biri Rim raqami bilan belgilangan 12 ta raqamlangan mintaqalarga bo'lingan edi. O'sha paytda federal zaxira tizimini tashkil etishni 12 mintaqa kuzatib bordi. 1972 yilda 12 ta mintaqa oltita geografik mintaqaning (shimoli-sharqiy, sharqiy markaziy, janubi-sharqiy, shimoliy markaziy, janubiy markaziy va g'arbiy) yangi yo'nalishlariga birlashtirildi.

1973 yilda Cub Scout rahbarlik lavozimlarining aksariyati ayollar uchun ochildi va 1976 yilda Kubmaster, yordamchi Kubmaster va barcha komissar lavozimlarini ayollar egallashi mumkin edi.^[32]

Ketrin Pollard birinchi ayol edi Skautter Amerikaning Boy Skautlarida; u Boy Scout Troop 13-ni boshqargan Milford, Konnektikut 1973 yildan 1975 yilgacha, ammo Amerikaning Boy Skautlari uni 1988 yilgacha skaut ustasi sifatida tan olishdan bosh tortdi.^[33][34]

An'anaviy skautlarga qaytish

1970-yillardagi Skaut / AQSh brendi

Rivojlanish talablaridagi o'zgarishlar skautlar uchun halokatli muvaffaqiyatsizlik bo'lib, a'zolik keskin pasayib ketdi.^[28] BSA lured Uilyam "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt 1979 yilda nafaqaga chiqqanidan keyin u butun yilni 9-nashrni yozish bilan o'tkazdi Boy skautlar uchun qo'llanma. Bu 1970-yilgi dastur tufayli a'zolik halokatidan mahrum bo'lganidan keyin an'anaviy skautlik dasturiga qaytish edi.^[35] 1972 yilda 6,5 ​​million skaut bo'lgan eng yuqori cho'qqidan, a'zolik 1980 yilda eng kam 4,3 millionga kamaydi.^[36] 9-nashr, Hillcourt yozishda yordam bergan qo'llanmalarning avvalgi nashrlari bilan juda o'xshashdir. Yangi nashr avvalgi nashrlardan to'liq xatboshilar va rasmlarni takrorladi.^[37]

1976 yilda Milliy Skautlar takomillashtirilgan skautlar dasturini to'xtatdilar va Hillcourt tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan "All Scouting for Scouting" dasturini joriy qildilar. Dastur "Brownsea Double-Two" bilan boshlandi, katta patrul xizmati boshlig'i uchun bir hafta davom etadigan kurs bo'lib, u keyinchalik "Flying Start Operation" qo'shinlari bilan tanishib chiqadi.^[38] Unda skautlik mahoratini o'rgatish va mashq qilish, skautning maqsadlari va askarlar dasturi doirasida patrul usulining o'rni ta'kidlangan.^[39] Ko'pgina kengashlar Brownsea va Troop Leader Development-ni boshqargan, ammo ba'zi kengashlar faqat bittasini yoki boshqasini o'tkazgan. "Eagle" talab qilinadigan xizmatlari uchun nishonlar soni 21 taga qisqartirildi va Camping kerakli ro'yxatga qaytarildi.^[36]

1979 yilda kichik sardorlarni tayyorlashning navbatdagi iteratsiyasi joriy etildi Qo'shinlar sardorlarini tayyorlash bo'yicha konferentsiya. U TLD va Brownsea Double-Two o'rnini egalladi. Bu "oxir-oqibat Troop Leader Development (# 6544) o'rnini bosish va shuningdek ta'minlash uchun" nashr etilgan Skaut kemalari Brownsea Double Two-ning mahorat tajribalari. "^[40] Bu skautlashda shahar urg'usining orqaga qaytishiga parallel bo'lib, 8-nashrdan "gulxan" so'zi eslatilishini olib tashladi. Boy skautlar uchun qo'llanma.^[41]

Belgilangan maqsad ikki dasturni birlashtirishga qaratilgan bo'lsa-da, ko'plab kengashlar ikkala dasturni ham davom ettirishda davom etdilar yoki oldingi dasturlarning elementlaridan foydalanib, kichik etakchilarni o'qitishning mamlakat miqyosida o'tkazilishida nomuvofiqlikni keltirib chiqardilar.^[42]

1980-yillar

1980 yilda yangi Skautlar formasi tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan Oskar de la Renta joriy etildi. The Varsity skautlari dastur 1984 yilda katta yoshdagi o'g'il bolalar uchun muqobil dastur sifatida kiritilgan.

Tiger Cubs 1982 yilda etti yoshli o'g'il bolalar uchun mo'ljallangan dastur sifatida boshlangan; forma to'q sariq rangli futbolka va kepkadan iborat edi. Tiger Cub va'dasi "Men Xudoni, oilamni va Vatanimni sevishga va dunyo haqida ma'lumot olishga va'da beraman" edi. Tiger Cub shiori "Izlash, kashf etish, bo'lishish" edi.

1984 yilda bir nechta forma almashtirildi. Webelos skautlariga Boy Scout formasini Webelos shapkasi, bo'yin ro'molchasi, nishon belgisi va ko'k yelkalari bilan kiyish huquqi berildi. Dastlabki sariq Cub Scout bo'yinbog'i Wolf Cub Scout bo'yiniga aylandi va Bear Cub Scouts o'zlarining ochiq ko'k bo'yinbog'iga ega bo'lishdi. 1986 yilda Cub Scout a'zosi yoshga qarab maktabga qarab o'zgartirildi^[43] va Webelos Scout dasturi ikki yilga kengaytirildi.

In 1985, the organization celebrated its 75th anniversary.^[44]

In 1989, some of the last elements of the Improved Scout Program ended when the skill award program was discontinued and the individual requirements were returned to the ranks. The Leadership Corps program was eliminated and the Venture crew and Varsity team programs for older boys 14–17 within the troop were introduced.^[17] Initially, girls were allowed to participate in team and crew activities, but this was later quietly dropped. These programs used the Venture/Varsity Letter with activity pins for recognition. The Varsity team program within the troop was discontinued in 1996. When the Venturing program was introduced in 1998, Venture crews were redesignated as Venture patrols. In early 2005, confusion has been raised over whether the BSA quietly stopped allowing Venture Patrols to use the Venture/Varsity Letter and activity pins, restricting them to just Varsity Scouts. The published statement said "only Varsity Scouts can earn the program's Varsity letter...".^[45] The statement omits the point however that members of a Venture patrol can still earn a Venture letter and activity pins. The BSA's 2007 Official Placement of Insignia specifies the placement of the Venture letter on the merit badge sash.^[46] Initially, the youth leaders were the Venture crew chief and assistant crew chief and the Varsity team captain and team co-captain. The adult leaders were the assistant Scoutmaster Venture and the assistant Scoutmaster Varsity. All of these positions and the emblems were eliminated except for assistant Scoutmaster Venture.

1990-yillar

Ushbu bo'lim kengayishga muhtoj. Siz yordam berishingiz mumkin unga qo'shilish. (Noyabr 2018)

In 1992, the six regions were reorganized again into four regions—Western, Central, Southern and Northeast. The Cub Scout Academics program was introduced in 1992 and became the Cub Scout Academics and Sports program in 1996. In 1990 requirements for the World Crest were changed to taking part in an international exhibit or display or an international event. The requirements were eliminated in 1991, and all Scouts now wear the World Crest as a display of world brotherhood in Scouting. The Xalqaro faoliyat patch replaced the World Crest as an emblem of participation in an international event.^[23] This is also the era in which the BSA restructured in an effort to reduce manpower by consolidating smaller councils into larger ones. In 1996 the Tiger Cub was presented with a Tiger Cub BSA emblem for wear on the blue Cub Scout uniform after graduating into the pack. Venturing made its debut in 1998.^[17]

Devid Xan

There was a particularly unusual case that came out of the Boy Scouts of America in this decade. Back in 1994, in Savdo shaharchasi, Michigan, a member by the name of Devid Xan had constructed a homemade neytron manbai boshidan. Hahn was an Eagle Scout who was deeply interested in chemistry as a child. He would conduct amateur experiments and he attempted to collect a sample of every element on the davriy jadval ning elementlar. Bunga quyidagilar kiradi radioaktiv bittasi. After a certain duration of time, Hahn managed to receive a xizmat nishoni in Atomic Energy. Earning that merit badge led him into becoming very fascinated with the possibility of creating a selektsioner reaktor. Hahn started to diligently collect radioactive materials and substances from household items and products. His initial sources were everyday objects which happened to be radioactive in part. Bunga kiritilgan amerika dan tutun detektorlari, torium dan mantles of gas lanterns, radiy from antique clocks, and tritiy dan diqqatga sazovor joylar qurol. Hahn's "reactor" was a bored-out block of lead that was mixed with lithium from roughly $1,000 worth of batteries to purify the thorium. However, he began to obtain radioactive items by asking to get them while posing as a scientist or a teacher through letters and phone calls. The neutron source that Hahn had built was capable of emitting radioactivity well over 1,000 times greater than that which tends to permeate through the environment as fon nurlanishi to conceal the evidence of his makeshift neutron source by disposing of the materials that made it. The Federal tergov byurosi (FBI) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) promptly and subsequently issued a Federal Radiological Emergency Response and the house where Hahn lived was quarantined. The site of his family's property was declared as a Superfund for cleanup and his neutron source, the shed where he made it, and the contents were buried in Utah as low-level radioactive waste. Even though the incident was not widely publicized at the time, it became better known over time and it is often remembered as one of the most bizarre events in the history of the Boy Scouts.^[47]

2000-yillar

The Tiger Cub Den became an integrated part of the pack in 2001 and the standard blue uniform was adopted with Tiger Cub hat, neckerchief and slide. The Tiger Cub strip was replaced by the diamond shaped badge and the Tiger Cub Promise was replaced by the Cub Scout Promise.

2004 yilda, Scoutreach division launched the Scouting and Soccer program with an emphasis on outreach to Hispanic/Latino youth and families.^[17][48] The Tiger Cub Motto was replaced by the Cub Scout Motto in 2006. A new version of the Webelos badge was introduced, oval shaped like the Boy Scout badges and worn only on the khaki shirt.^[49][50] In June 2006, in a move to align Tiger Cubs with the rest of the Cub Scout program, Tiger Cubs were required to earn the Bobcat badge first.

2010 yil

2013 yil 23 mayda Amerikaning Boy Skautlar Milliy Kengashining 1400 ovoz beruvchi a'zolari skautlar tarkibiga ochiq gomoseksual shaxslarni kiritish taqiqini 61 foizdan 38 foizgacha olib tashlash uchun ovoz berishdi. Ochiq gey bolalar 2014 yil yanvaridan boshlab skaut bo'lishga ruxsat olindi, lekin ochiqchasiga gey kattalarga hali ham etakchi bo'lish taqiqlandi.^[51][52]

In 2014 Pascal Tessier, a 17-year-old from Chevy Chase, Md., became the first known openly gay Boy Scout to be an Eagle Scout.^[53]

In 2015 Pascal Tessier became the first openly gay adult Boy Scout in the nation to be hired as a summer camp leader when he was hired by the Boy Scouts’ New York chapter, Greater New York Councils.^[54]

On July 27, 2015, the BSA National Executive Board ratified a resolution that removed the national restriction on openly gay adult leaders and employees. The new policy states, "Chartered organizations continue to select their adult leaders and religious chartered organizations may continue to use religious beliefs as criteria for selecting adult leaders, including matters of sexuality. This change allows Scouting’s members and parents to select local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families. This change also allows religious chartered organizations to choose adult volunteer leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own."^[55]

On October 11, 2017, the BSA Board of Directors unanimously voted on inviting girls into all the Scouting programs. “This decision is true to the BSA’s mission and core values outlined in the Scout Oath and Law. The values of Scouting – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example – are important for both young men and women,” said Michael Surbaugh, the BSA's Chief Scout Executive. “We believe it is critical to evolve how our programs meet the needs of families interested in positive and lifelong experiences for their children. We strive to bring what our organization does best – developing character and leadership for young people – to as many families and youth as possible as we help shape the next generation of leaders.”^[56]

On May 2, 2018, the BSA announced a new name for its Boy Scout program: Scouts BSA. The Cub Scout program had already started admitting girls and Scouts BSA would begin accepting girls in February 2019.^[57]

In the Fall of 2018 after a pilot program lasting two years the Lion Cub den was added.^[58] The Lion Den is for kindergarten-age kids, with reduced requirements compared to other dens.

On Feb 1, 2019 the Scouts BSA program began admitting girls and chartering new girl troops.^[59]

2020 yil

On Feb 18, 2020 the Boy Scouts of America national organization filed for 11-bob bankrotlik, to create a sustainable means of compensating victims of past Amerikaning Boy Skautlari jinsiy zo'ravonlik holatlari, while also allowing scouting to continue at the local level.^[60][61]

From March 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemiyasi causes difficulties around in-person scouting, the BSA launches "Scouting at Home",^[62] and publishes exemptions and extensions to allow flexibility in the face of quarantines and social distancing requirements.^[63]

Varsity Scouts

In 1984, the Varsity Scout program was rolled out as an official program of the BSA for boys ages 14–17. This program is designed to retain older Scouts with additional award opportunities and program elements not available to younger Scouts, as well as attract high-school age young men interested in sports and high adventure activities, but had no Scouting background. The youth leader of each Varsity Scout team is called the captain, and the adult leader is called the Varsity Coach.

In 1989, with rollout of the Venture program, the Varsity letter was redesigned for the use of the Venture Crew as well, and activity pins were added. More recently, the Denali Award was introduced to recognize outstanding achievement by a Varsity Scout. Varsity Scouts are also eligible to earn the ranks and merit badges prescribed for Boy Scouts. It is considered a subset of the overall Boy Scout program.

While remaining relatively small compared to Venturing and Exploring, the program has persisted, probably due to LDS ' policy to charter Varsity Teams for all 14- to 15-year-old boys in the United States. In recent years, the number of teams chartered by other organizations has increased. In 2001, revised Varsity Scout manuals were released.

In May 2016, the LDS Church^[64] announced that effective January 1, 2018, the Church will discontinue its Varsity and Venturing Scouting programs for young men ages 14–18 in the United States and Canada, replacing them with a new activities program. In August of that year, BSA announced discontinuance of Varsity Scouting nationwide by December 31, 2017.

Exploring and Venturing

Shortly after Boy Scouting was founded in the United States, its creators encountered a problem with older boys. Some grew bored with the program, usually around 14–15, while others didn't want to leave their troops after reaching the age of 18. To alleviate this problem, a number of new programs were created for older boys over time, including the Dengiz skautlari (1912), Senior Scouts and Explorer Scouts (1935), Rover Scouts (c. 1938), and Havo skautlari (1942). Around 1935, most of these were brought together under the overall Senior Scout Division. In 1949, these programs were reworked into Exploring, which included Sea Explorers and Air Explorers. In 1958, these were further re-worked and condensed into a unified Tadqiqot program with Air Explorers and Sea Explorers as relatively independent sub-groups.^[65]

In the 1950s and beyond, many Explorer posts chose to become specialty posts, with the encouragement of the BSA. Many of these posts were chartered to businesses and government agencies (such as police, fire departments and hospitals). In the 1960s and further into the 1970s, this career education emphasis became an important aspect of the overall Exploring program. However, outdoor-oriented posts, as well as those specializing in sports and hobbies also were popular, and some were quite large.

Continuing surveys of teenage boys done by the BSA indicated that Explorer-age teenagers, including current Explorers, were interested in including young women in their group activities. The BSA made the first change in this direction in 1969 by opening special-interest posts to young women to be "associate members". After two years, the BSA decided to allow any Explorer post to accept young women and/or young men, based on the desires of the chartered organization, and many Explorer posts became co-educational.

In the 1970s, some councils were starting Explorer posts that met during high school elective classes, primarily for career exploration classes that featured volunteer speakers representing careers. Because these posts were structurally different, with meetings being adult directed and primarily seminars and the membership being very fluid, the SSA created the membership category of Career Awareness Exploring, and these high school-based posts were moved into this category. Keyinchalik, qachon Hayot uchun o'rganish division was formed, these posts were renamed High School Career Awareness Groups, and moved from Exploring to Learning for Life.

During the 1970s, 1980s, and beyond, Exploring continued to offer the National Explorer Conferences and the Law Enforcement Explorer Conferences, as well as unique programs like the Explorer Mock Trial Competition. Explorers met in area conferences as well. Qualified Explorers were able to run for regional and national Explorer offices, with the National Explorer President and Vice President attending national meetings and participating in the annual Report to the Nation.

On July 30, 1996, the ACLU issued a statement^[66] charging that members of Explorer posts affiliated with public services had a significant advantage over non-members in finding employment with these services. Because the BSA prohibits its members from being ochiqchasiga gomoseksual yoki ateist, the ACLU believed these public services were discriminating against such people. On April 10, 1997, the ACLU filed a lawsuit^[67] against the city of Chicago for allowing these programs. Most of these problematic units were career-awareness posts affiliated with government agencies, especially law enforcement and fire service posts.

In August 1998, the BSA decided to reorganize the Exploring program, and moved all career-oriented Explorer posts to their Hayot uchun o'rganish sho''ba korxonasi. Those youth and adults continued to be Explorers, but no longer would be members of the BSA. Posts that specialized in outdoor activities (including Dengiz skautlari, sports, hobbies, and religious activities) were retained in the BSA but moved into the new Venturing Division. Venturers would be able to continue wearing the traditional green uniform shirt and earn BSA awards.

Venturing was launched without some of the test pilot program development that normally was used by the BSA, and some believe this was because of the legal pressures. However, some of the new Venturing program elements (such as the new Silver and Ranger awards) had already been in development for over a year, and were rolled out with the first Venturing program manuals. The name Venturing was chosen since that term was being used for this age group with other national Scout associations.

Since 1998, a number of enhancements to Venturing have been introduced, and the manuals have been updated. Venturers can earn the 5 Bronze Awards (the fifth being Sea Scout), then Gold, then Silver. Additional awards such as the Ranger, Quest and Trust Awards have been added as specialty awards from the Outdoor Bronze, Sports Bronze, and Religious Bronze respectively. New changes in the recognition program are to be expected in May 2014. Leadership training programs for youth include the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews (ILSC), National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE), the new Kodiak Challenge (a combination of the old Kodiak and Kodiak-X programs), and Powder Horn (for both youth and adults)

Venturing, like Exploring, continued the tradition of having national and regional youth presidents. The last elected National Explorer President Jon Fulkerson served in that capacity for a period of two weeks, until August 1, 1998 at which time he became the first national Venturing president. His first term of office was spent promoting the infant program and working on violence prevention programs that have been adopted by the Venturing division. Currently, nominations are solicited for regional presidents, who are selected at the Annual National Meeting of the BSA in May by a subcommittee from the National Venturing Committee. The president is now selected from the pool of the four region presidents of the previous term. Many councils have council level Venturing youth cabinets (which may be called Venturing Officer Associations VOA or Teen Leader Councils) who plan and carry out Venturing events at the Council and District levels.

The BSA currently divides the United States into four regions, West, South, Central, and Northeast. Each of these regions are made up of areas. These areas are further divided in councils, then (sometimes) into districts, then finally crews.

National (President and Vice President) > Regional (full cabinet/VOA) > Area (full cabinet/VOA)> Council (full cabinet VOA) > District (full cabinet VOA) > Crew (full cabinet/VOA)

Council, District, and Crews do not need a 'full cabinet/VOA' to function, especially if the Council, District, or Crew does not have a large membership. Many Councils are not further divided into Districts.

Dengiz skautlari

The Boy Scouts of America implemented the Dengiz skautlari program in 1912. The program was basically a nautical/naval program for older youth.

During the early years of the program, the program was poorly defined. Each new national leader made changes.

In 1917, Scouter James "Kimo" Wilder came on board as Chief Seascout. He revamped the program and tried to make it successful. He didn't succeed, so stepped aside in 1923 for Commander Thomas J. Keane. Keane would revamp the Sea Scout program. This is the same basic program that exists today. Keane developed the naval-style uniforms, office title and insignia, four level advancement program of Apprentice, Ordinary, Able, and Quartermaster, and the like.

In 1935, Sea Scouts became part of the larger Senior Scout Division of the BSA. In 1949, Sea Scouts were renamed Sea Explorers, as part of the renaming of Senior Scouts to Explorers. In 1964, minor changes occurred to the Sea Explorer program to more fit with the new Exploring program. Over the years, National stopped promoting the Sea Explorer program. It was only through the dedication of many Sea Scout leaders that the program survived. 1969 yilda,^[68] along with Exploring, Sea Explorers became officially coed. In 1998, with the new Venturing program, Sea Explorers returned to their name of Sea Scouts. Also, the program was revitalized and better promoted.

Yog'och nishoni

In 1919 Baden-Powell began a training program called Yog'och nishoni for adult leaders in Scouting. The BSA did not fully adopt this training in the Qo'shma Shtatlar until 1948. It was delivered by the National Council until 1958, when increased demand necessitated allowing local councils to deliver the training. It is continually presented in many councils across the United States each year.
