July 25, 306
306: Constantine I was proclaimed Roman emperor by his troops. Under the rule of Constantine, Christianity would in effect become the official religion the Roman Empire. This was the beginning of a downward spiral in the life of European Jewry. No century was more decisive for Jewish-Christian relations than the fourth century. The Edict of Milan issued by Emperor Constantine in 313 CE granted freedom of worship to all religious groups, including Jews. But Christianity quickly was to become the chief beneficiary of this decree, while Jewish fortunes were to sink to a new low. In 323 CE Christianity was granted a special position within the empire. Judaism theoretically continued as a legal religion, but it was frequently abused by Christian preachers and people without any action being taken by the imperial government. By the time Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity on his deathbed in 329, the imperial government had already begun to institute restrictive measures against Jewish privileges. By the end of the fourth century the civil status of Jews was in serious danger and their image had greatly deteriorated. The Jew was now seen as a semi-satanic figure, cursed by God, and specially set apart by the civil government. [1]
306
The Synod of Elvira bans intermarriage between Christians and Jews. Other social intercourses, such as eating together, are also forbidden.[2]
312
The defining event in the diverging fortunes of Judaism and Christianity came in the early fourth century. Constantine, a thirty-two-year-old provincial Roman leader in the western half of the empire, defeated his regional rival Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, near Rome, in 312. According to Christian tradition, the letters XP (“Chi-Rho,” the first two letters of “Christ”) in Greek intertwined with a cross appeared before him in the sky. Inspired by the vision, he defeated his formidable rival. Supposedly, in response to the miracle, Constantine issued what became known as the Edict of Milan. Christians in the western sections of the empire would no longer be tortured of killed. [3]
313: Constantine legalizes Christianity. Joined by the eastern tetrarch Licinius, in 313 issued the Edict of Milan, which declared that the Roman Empire would not discriminate against any religion and would cease persecution of Christians. [4]
313: Jerusalem, which is already drawing Christian pilgrims, becomes part of Bysantium (the Easter Roman Empire) for 300 years.[5]
July 25, 425: A decree of the emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III, addressed to Amatius, prefect of Gaul prohibited Jews and pagans from practising law and from holding public offices ("militandi"), in order that Christians should not be in subjection to them, and thus be incited to change their faith.[6]
431: With regard to religion, we may note that, in A.D. 431, Palladius was sent from Rome as Primus Episcopus to the “Scotos in Christum credentes;” in A.D. 432, Patrick went to Ireland; in A. D. the British Bishop Ninian converted the Southern Picts; in A.D. 565, the Irish Presbyter, Columbus, converted the Northern Picts, and theirs was called the Culdee Church. [7]
The Emperors tried to preserv uniformity by summoning Eecumenical Councils, Councils to which all the bishops of Christendom werer invited, in the hope that the Holy Ghost would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils achieved unanbimity only because dissident bhishops either refused to vfote or were prevented from voting. After each Council a section of Christendom broke away from the main body. The Arian heretics who seceded in the fourth century fated out in the East. But after the Council of Ephesus in 431 there was a separated Nestorian Church, which soon found shich its missionaries were to travel inbto Inbdia and into Tartary.[8]
July 25, 1751: John Cale, born April 19, 1726, died July 26, 1797; married July 25 1751 to Elizabeth Pugh, born December 13, 1730 in Frederick Co., Va., died September 14, 1796.
Daughter, Elizabeth Cale, born 1759, died 1821. Was married, 1782, to George Nicholas Spaid, born December 22, 1759, died June 15, 1833.
Their son, Michael Spaid, born October 1, 1795, in Hampshire County, Virginia, died March 26, 1872, in Buffalo, Ohio. Was married to Margaret ("Peggy") Godlove (Gottlieb), daughter of George Godlove, German lineage, born August 13, 1792, Hampshire County WV, died August 30, 1873 in Buffalo, Guernsey County, Ohio.[9] They were Lutherans and Democrats. Eight children. She had to the last the Virginia accent and kindly ways. [10]
July 25 to 27, 1753: The map shows a proposed Ohio Company fort at Shurtee‘s (Chartiers) Creek that was authorized for construction at the July 25 to 27, 1753 Stratford, Westmoreland County meeting of the Ohio Company. According to Darlington, the meeting records state: Resolved that it is absolutely necessary that the Company should immediately erect a
Fort for the security and protection of their Settlement on a hill just below Shurtees
Creek upon the south east side of the river Ohio; that the walls of the said Fort shall be
twelve feet high, to be built of sawed or hewen logs, and to enclose a piece of ground
ninety feet square, besides the four Bastions at the corners of sixteen feet square each,
with houses in the middle for stores, Magazines &c. according to a plan entered in the
Company‘s Books. That Col. Cresap, Capt. Trent, and Mr Gist, be appointed and
authorized on behalf of the Company to agree with labourers, Carpenters and other
workmen, to build and complete the same as soon as possible and employ hunters to
supply them with Provisions, and agree with some honest industrious man to overlook the
workmen and labourers as Overseer, and that they be supplied with flour, salt and all
other necessaries at the Companys expence. That all the Land upon the hill on which the
said Fort is to be built be appropriated to the use of the said Fort, and that two hundred
acres of land exclusive of streets be layed off for a town convenient and adjoining to the
said Fort lands, in squares of two acres each, every square to be divided into four lots so
that every Lot may front two streets, if the ground will so admit, and that all the streets be
of convenient width, that twenty of the best and most convenient squares be reserved and
set apart for the Company‘s own use, and one square to build a School on for the
education of Indian children and such other uses as the Company shall think proper and
that all the rest of the lots be disposed of.
The presence of the fort on the map seems to indicate that the map was made or altered on or
after July 25, 1753. When examined closely [11] words on the map say ―Fort erecting by the Comp.‖[12]
July 25, 1757: On April 7, 1757, William Crawford, ensign, was promoted to lieutenant. William Crawford, Lieutenant, April 27-July 25, 3 months, 5 days. £47, 10 shillings.[13]
July 25, 1774
The advertisement spoken of by Valentine Crawford was in these words:
“Five POUNDS REWARD.
Run away from the subscriber, living on Jacob’s creek, near Stewart’s crossing, in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, on Sunday night, the 24th instant, a convict servant man, named William Orr, the property of Col. George Washington, he is a well-made man, about five feet ten inches high, and about twenty-four years of age. He was born in Scotland, and speaks that dialect pretty much. He is of a red complexion, and very full-faced, with short, sandy colored hair, amid very remarkable thumbs, they being both crooked. He had on, and took with him, an old felt hat, bound with black binding; one white cotton coat and jacket, with black horn buttons; one old brown jacket; one pair of snuff-colored breeches; one pair of trowzers, made in sailors fashion—and they are made of sail duck, and have not been washed; a pair of red leggins, and shoes tied with strings; two Osnaberg shirts, and one Holland shirt marked V. C., which he stole, and a blanket.
He stole, likewise, a black horse, about fourteen hands high, branded on time near shoulder and buttock ‘R. W.,’ and shod before. He had neither bridle or saddle that we knew of. I expect he will make to some seaport town, as he has been much used to the seas. Whoever takes up said servant. and secures him, so that he and horse may he had again, shall receive the above reward, or three pounds for the man alone; and reasonable charges, if brought home, paid by me.

Tuesday, July 25, 1775; Intended to go into the Indian Country as soon as I am able, to dispose of the Silver Trinkets, I bought for that trade. I believe I shall be put to my shifts for cash to carry me there.[15]
July 25, 1775 --Tuesday
As everyone had anticipated—the Indians as well as the Americans—no one paid much attention to the accords reached between Lord Dunmore and the Indians at Camp Charlotte. As soon as the weather permitted this past spring, a new flood of land-claimers, surveyors, settlers and adventurers poured into the Ohio Valley.
The upper Ohio Valley was experiencing the greatest influx of settlers. George Washington, already holding some of the most extensive land claims in that area, only ten days ago had received from Lord Dunmore a patent for another 3,000 acres of land at the mouth of Beaver River, but he suspected he wouldn’t be doing anything much in that area for quite a while, as the war was keeping him very busy. Wheeling, though still not laid out as such, could now almost be described as a town on its own, and settlements such as Catfish Camp, Baker’s Bottom, McMechen’s Settlement and others were also growing rapidly. Some that had been temporarily abandoned during the war, such as McMechen’s, had been burned by the Indians and had to be rebuilt. The Tomlinsons, having returned to their Grave Creek Flats settlement after briefly taking refuge at Redstone, now found many other settlers coming in to sink roots near them, Maj. William Crawford among that number. So much had the population of the area increased over the past months—by several thousand, in fact—that a second Augusta County court was established by Virginia at pittsburgh, and court sessions would now be held alternately at Staunton and Fort Pitt…
…In Williamsburg, Dunmore finally realized the growing momentum of the revolutionaries was more than he could withstand; he abdicated his office and then had the British man-of-war H.M.S. Fowey transport him to Norfolk, Virginia’s largest town and most important port. Upon his arrival he burned the entire town.
As soon as it became known that Lord Dunmore had fled, the Assembly reformed, declared the office of governor vacant and gave themselves, for the first time, absolute home rule. The Virginians, furious at Dunmore’s actions, petitioned that the name of Dunmore County be abolished. This was done immediately, and the name was changed to Shenandoah County. The Virginia Convention then raised nine regiments, called the Virginia Line, and sent two companies of 100 men each to garrison Fort Pitt and a company of 25 men to Fort Fincastle at Wheeling. Now a colonel, William Crawford was given command of the Thirteenth Regiment, and his friend, John Knight, enlisted in that unit. Knight, having by this time worked off his indenture to Crawford, was now calling himself Dr. John Knight because he had studied medicine at the University of Aberdeen before coming to America as a stowaway.[16]
Fall, 1775
The first considerable body of men recruited in the Monongahela country for the Revolutionary army was a battalion, afterwards designated as the Seventh Virginia. It was raised in the fall of 1775, chiefly thrugh the efforts of William Crawford, whose headquarters for the recruiting of it were at his home at Stewart’s Crossings ion the Youghiogheny, then in the county of Westmoreland, or rather, as the Virginia partisans claimed, in the western district of Augusta county, Va. After raising this regiment, Crawford did not immediately secure a colonelcy, but was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Fifth Virginia in January 1776 and in the latter part f the same year became colonel of the Seventh. Whe regiment which he raised was made up principally of men from the region now embraced in the counties of Westmoreland and Fayette, but no rolls or lists of their names can be given. [17]

On his arrival at Fort Pitt, Gen. Mcintosh relieved Gen. Hand and, on the recommendation of George Washington, appointed militia Maj. William Crawford as his second in command with the brevet rank of colonel. Mcintosh had decided that a more advanced post than Fort Pitt had to be built as a launching point for the punitive expedition against the Sandusky towns. To that end he dispatched a substantial force of soldiers, laborers and engineers—men of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Col. Daniel Brodhead and the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. John Gibson, plus ?o regiments of militia—to erect a sturdy fort farther down the Ohio. That fort was flow being constructed on the downriver side of the mouth of Beaver River, on the right bank of the Ohio 25 miles below Fort Pitt, and even though unfinished, it was already being called Fort McIntosh.[19]
July 25, 1783: A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [20]
JULY 25, 1783
From the 1st of this month until the evening of the 26th 1 was in the provinces of Jersey and Pennsylvania, whither I had been sent in order to look into the situation of the German soldiers who are employed here and there. For this purpose, I had been furnished with a letter from General Carleton to the American War President, General Lincoln, 30[21] and also with other instructions. .:
The mission was undertaken at the request of his Excellency General von Lossberg, who had sent several memoranda to General Carleton to induce him to collect the soldiers bought out of captivity. I am unable to say why General Carleton never answered in writing, but it finally pleased him to have his adjutant. Major von Wilmowsky, tell his Excellency General von Lossberg to order me to proceed to Philadelphia with a letter to General Lincoln. .
Although such requests are ordinarily received with eagerness, I knew well enough that my efforts, the expense of the trip, and, above all, the time consumed would be in vain. If anything satisfactory is to be accomplished in this strange situation among even stranger people, it must be done by the commanding general of the army and no one else. The following report of my partly finished business will prove that I was right.
On the 1st of the month I was unable to proceed further than Elizabethtown, but I arrived in Philadelphia late in the evening the following day. According to my instructions, I stopped an hour at Princeton, where Congress has been established since the 24th of last month, June. President Boudinot had fled there from Philadelphia with all the members of Congress because they could not fulfill their promise to pay the mutinous Pennsylvania Continental brigade, which was ready to carry out its serious threats against this great American council.
President Boudinot gave me permission to continue my journey through Pennsylvania and directed me to Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia. I learned at the same time that General Lincoln had gone to Richmond in Virginia and was expected back on 8th of this month His adjutant, Major Jackson, who is Secretary of the War Council (31) and conducted the General’s business during his absence, read General Carleton’s letter and immediately ruled as follows (1) The War Council has no jurisdiction over the Hessian, Brunswick, and Hesse-Hanau soldiers who have been sold out of imprisonment to the inhabitants (2) Whether the soldiers are released or not depends entirely upon the owners of these men and upon the desires and intentions of the foreign soldiers (3) No German soldiers may return to the British army unless the owners are reimbursed in cash for their outlay.
The President confirmed these decisions, adding, however, that since the British Generals Howe and Clinton allowed American prisoners to languish in prisons and then authorized provincial officers to recruit among these wretched people as they saw fit, since the several admirals on the New York station have treated many seamen cruelly and impressed them, and since, moreover, no exchange of prisoners could be effected in spite of five meetings with the British commissioners, the War Council had been authorized to treat the British auxiliaries in the same manner.
31 Major William Jackson, Assistant Secretary of War
To this he added that if his Excellency General von Lossberg. wanted to get possession of these prisoners, the Americans would be so kind as to permit it in return for a cash payment of £30 Pennsylvania currency per man, conditional on an investigation which would have to be made to determine whether these German soldiers really desired to return, for America held open her arms to people of all nations in welcome and protection.
The French ambassador M. de la Luzerne was present during this conversation. He had just arrived in Princeton from his country estate situated on the Schuylkill, three miles from Philadelphia, and conferred in the college building with the President before the assembled Congress without any ceremony whatever. He heard my answer to the President, namely, that whatever the British generals and admirals had done could not possibly serve as an example, for at that time the Americans under arms were looked upon only as disobedient subjects, and the prisoners, in view of this, were treated well enough. This, however, made no impression, nor did it affect the friendly treatment I enjoyed everywhere and have every reason to praise. .
Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia had no objections to my riding out to Lancaster and Reading. I therefore went from Philadelphia to Darby, Kennett Square, Downingtown, Pequea, Bethlehem, and Lancaster In these places and on the farms I found one hundred and sixty-two Brunswickers and thirteen Hasse-Hanauers, most of them married and settled on their own land Thirty-nine Brunswickers showed a desire to return, but none of the Hesse-Hanauers I visited these places between the 6th and 8th
On the 10th I started out from Philadelphia for Reading The prescribed route was the following from Philadelphia to Germantown, Swedes Ford, Potts Grove, and Reading I found eighty-four men, all Brunswickers save eight from Hesse-Hanau On the way back I rode by way of the Delaware Mills in Bucks County, where I found another twenty-three Brunswmckers and also two deserters from the Regiment von Knyphausen All these men demanded their freedom with the exception of six Hanauers and the two Hessian deserters.
In Philadelphia I discovered fifty-two Hessian deserters but could do no more than let them read a copy of the general pardon, and even in doing this I had to be very cautious. The greater part of them had been talked into desertion and now wish to be allowed to return. Of the Brunswickers at the Delaware Mills, thirteen men had escaped on the 29th of June, but the provincial Colonel Bird recaptured them between Newark and Elizabethtown. (32)[22]
I next went to Mount Hope in Jersey to see the thirty-five men of von Knyphausen’s Regiment who are working in the iron works. I found only twenty-seven men. Some of the missing eight had escaped to New York, but two had worked themselves free and settled In Philadelphia.
I returned to New York with the owner of the iron works on the 16th of this month. His Excellency General von Lossberg sent a letter with my report to General Carleton, in which he asked permission to enter into negotiations with this man, whose name Is Faesh, (33)[23] with a view of paying him as much in cash for these twenty-seven men as they still owe in labor until the expiration of their third year, for only in this way can we get possession of these twenty-seven men again. This was done on the 18th of this month, and today, as I conclude this humble letter, he has not yet received a reply in spite of the fact that I mentioned it to him again on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, in order to lose no time, his Excellency General von Lossberger asked the aid Faesh to prepare an itemized statement, showing how much each of the twenty-Seven men will have received in cash by the end of this month and how much each has still coming to him, and also how large a sum they still have to work off between the 1st of August and the end of the three year period.
His answer is now expected; it will certainly arrive before the one due from General Carleton. His Excellency General you Lossberg will then buy these men’s freedom, for the most part with his own resources, that is, if Mr. Faesh was serious in his offer and the American War Council does not retract its word.
The incidental information which I gathered in Philadelphia and in most of the other places seemed to be pleasing to English headquarters, and I was asked to submit reports on the following topics to General Carleton:
A sergeant major had led the Pennsylvania brigade in Philadelphia in front of the City Hall. In this rebellious mob were six officers in the uniforms of common soldiers. The President was about to escape but was captured and taken with all firmness before the assembled Congress. The officers were later arrested.
In spite of Congress’s promise to pay the Pennsylvanians in three installments nothing has been paid them To avoid its obligations, Congress established itself in Princeton and asked General Washington for a brigade for protection The brigade of Massachusetts Bay under Major General Howe and Brigadier Paterson[24] left the army at Newburg and marched, fifteen hundred strong, through Morristown, Princeton, Trenton, Bristol, and Frankford and encamped on the 7th of this month on the Germantown road, three and a half miles from Philadelphia.
Governor Dickinson, in accordance with the decision of the Pennsylvania Council, was to forbid General Howe to enter Pennsylvania and order him to stop at Trenton, but this was left undone. This brigade had six pieces of artillery and every night posted pickets half an hour’s march in front in the direction of the city. An indescribable bitterness has since prevailed in Philadelphia and in the province Congress and its behavior is not spared in public opinion, faith in General Washington has diminished considerably, the party of former Governor Reed is active in all the Pennsylvania counties, and a general revolt is feared The French embassy and the Bank fear for their safety In this tumult I left Philadelphia.
There are some forty Dutch merchantmen there, nine ships from Ostend flying the imperial flags, five Spanish ships which, however, had been rented by the Swedes, four Danish ships from St Croix, three from Hamburg, two from Bremen, one from Emden, and, lastly, eight English and seven Irish ships. These last are permitted to fly their country’s flag, while the British flags must be struck at Gloucester Point in the Delaware, because the American flag has been insulted in New York.
All European merchandise finds a ready sale for hard cash, for no domestic products are to be found in Philadelphia with the possible exception of flour and lumber, which, however, only the Spanish and Dutch can accept When I was in Philadelphia, there were six Portuguese ships at anchor. Two of these departed with cash, using rocks for ballast. They took American seamen to complete their crews. This was also done by the Dutch who, however, set out for the West Indies with cargoes of flour, which they will trade there for rice, tobacco, and indigo.
The Virginians, always jealous of the Pennsy1vanians, are equally void of all honesty in trade and cheat their neighbors almost as much as the Marylanders cheat the Carolinians. They consider the Chesapeake theirs and have complete confidence in the French. On the 29th of May this year the Portuguese agent Francisco (35)[25] received orders to buy up all the iron ships cannon of four, nine, and eighteen pounds caliber.
Running into the Delaware is made more difficult each year by the chevaux-de-frise, which cannot be raised and now form an island in the middle of the river, opposite Gloucester Point and extending toward the city Thus the river bed, ordinarily very wide, has been made considerably narrower and shallower.
The wares and merchandise that find a ready sale, particularly with the Pennsylvania farmers, are scythes sickles, cutting knives, unworked steel, grindstones, linen of all sorts, and salt. The Irish make a great profit selling linen, and the English cannot supply enough cloth.
When American products ordered for Europe are ready for shipment, the Dutch ships take them at half rates, whereas American ships cannot carry them even at full rates. This is quite a blow. Besides, it costs two-thirds more to produce such merchandise as nails, iron wares, shoes, leather, hats, and silk goods in America than it costs to import them from Europe. No one thinks of building any warships.
The immense sums owed to France cause everyone worry, for there is no money to pay back the borrowed capital. Consequently, Congress gladly condones the confiscation of property in the provinces, hoping to derive some benefit from it. In general however, this policy is very harmful, since the provinces are thereby depopulated, the people of the northern provinces moving to Nova Scotia and those of the southern provinces migrating to the Ohio. To sum up in a few words, everything has gone to ruin, and experiencing the evil consequences thereof will be the lot of the North American people for a long time.
I saw General Gates in Philadelphia. He had just returned from a trip to the region above Albany, whither he has been sent to exhort the Indians to be peaceful. He found the old Indians obliging, but the young chieftains ready for war and cruel expeditions. His report contains the important statement that these Indians are still given presents and provided with munitions from Canada.
Now that all the small auxiliary corps, except two Anspach regiments, have already departed and these two regiments are ready to embark, some troops will encamp at McGown’s Pass on this island next week. Von Knyphausen’s and von Bunau’s Regiments will then move in front of the city, while the Vacant, the Erb Prinz, Bose’s, von Knoblauch’s, and von Benning’s Regiments will come from Long Island and go into garrison in the city.
On the 21st a frigate arrived from England with special dispatches, and today a frigate will depart for England with answer. All the warships and frigates in New York harbor are under orders to sail.
With the deepest respect I have the honor ever to be [etc.][26]

The first camp meeting held in that region, and the first one I ever attended, was held about where the County Infirmary now stands. It was conducted by two brothers named Thomas and Richard Clark. They were nicknamed "Newlights." Their hearers got the jerks, both men and women, and kept on jerking until they were exhausted. One Jack Eeles, said to have been the wickedest man in that county, went to one of their meetings drunk, making fun of them and claiming that their jerking was all a sham. But the jerks got hold on Jack and got him down and would not let of of him. He became so exhausted that his friends had to carry him home. Jack afterward went into the army, was in the war of 1812, and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, in July, 1814.[27]
Battle of Lundy’s Lane, July 25, 1814, the hardest fought land battle of the War of 1812. It took place in Canada, just west of Niagara Falls. Neither side won, but in effect it was a British victory because it halted the advance of United States troops into Canada.[28] I am curious as to whether Conrad might have been there too. JG

July 25, 1907: In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking in the South African War. Soon after, Aids to Scouting, a military field manual he had written for British soldiers in 1899, caught on with a younger audience. Boys loved the lessons on tracking and observation and organized elaborate games using the book. Hearing this, Baden-Powell decided to write a nonmilitary field manual for adolescents that would also emphasize the importance of morality and good deeds.
First, however, he decided to try out some of his ideas on an actual group of boys. On July 25, 1907, he took a diverse group of 21 adolescents to Brownsea Island in Dorsetshire where they set up camp for a fortnight. With the aid of other instructors, he taught the boys about camping, observation, deduction, woodcraft, boating, lifesaving, patriotism, and chivalry. Many of these lessons were learned through inventive games that were very popular with the boys. The first Boy Scouts meeting was a great success.
With the success of Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office, which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were 60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held at the Crystal Palace in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up, including a group of uniformed girls who called themselves the Girl Scouts. In 1910, Baden-Powell organized the Girl Guides as a separate organization.
The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in the United States, for boys under the age of 11.
