38. Lord Baden Powell created scouting for both girls and boys
Robert Baden-Powell was a distinguished officer of the British Army when he produced Scouting for Boys and created the Boy Scouts in 1907. In 1910 Powell retired from the army and created the Boy Scouts Association. The same year he and his sister Agnes started the Girl Guides. Both became international movements for girls and boys. The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910, using many of the guides established by Powell, who had in turn been influenced by the Sons of Daniel Boone, an American organization which had been established by Daniel Carter Beard in Cincinnati in 1905. Scouting continues to enjoy wide popularity among youth in the 21st century.
