After this important event for the start of Boy Scout troops in America, Boy Scouts was a hudge hit. The first start of Boy Scouts was a man named Robert Baden Pal. On day, he camped with a group of boys and later wrote the book Scouting for Boys. Many bought the book and decided to become scouts.Robert Baden Pal also served in the British Calvary. The first BSA handbook every published was called BSA's Handbook for Boys was made in 1911. It talked about things such as camping and the idea of forming patrols. Since then, many handbooks have been made and 33 million have been sold. In 1920, the first world camporee was held in London.
