A young boy approached Bpyee and offend his assistance, then took Boyce to his destination. It was the boy's refusal of a tip and saying that he was a Boy Scout, that intrigued Boyce. He later asked the boy to take him to the British Scouting office, where Boyce met Lord Baden-Powel- l, who founded the Scouting movement in Britain. It was because of this meeting that the Boy Scouts of America was officially organized in 1910.
