Simon,

  I think that the essence of Traditional Scouting is that Baden-Powell
would recognise it as Scouting, the modern Scout Association is too
different to what he envisaged.

  *  We still wear a distinct uniform, the uniform is functional as well as
     smart.  Our Scouts have a pride in their uniform.

  *  We still use a lot of Baden-Powell's original testwork and structure
     e.g. our Law and Promise are virtually identical to those of his time.

  *  We still use the Patrol as the fundamental organisational unit. 
     Youngsters in a 'gang' under the control of a leader, the PL.  Pls and
     APLs still do some of the training of members of their Patrol.

  Yours in Scouting, Bruce Cockburn.
