A Scout is Kind
A Scout knows there is strength in being gentle. He treats others
as he wants to be treated. Without good reason, he does not harm or
kill any living thing.
BOY SCOUTS in JAPAN
Scouting was introduced to Japan in the autumn of 1909 by a
Japanese educator who had visited England the previous year. The
Tokyo earthquake of 1923 brought the work of the Scouts of Tokyo
and of Kobe to the notice of the general public. Count Goto
Shimpei, a doctor and a statesman, was made the first Chief Scout
of Japan and tasked with the rebuilding. As Minister of Railways,
Count Goto travelled around the country, and was able to promote
Scouting all over the country in his spare time. In 1924 Japan
fielded a full contingent of 25 to the Second World Jamboree in
Denmark under Rear Admiral Count Sano Tsuneha. Count Sano returned
to Japan and created Japan's own training course, called
Jisshu-sho, for both Cub and Scout leaders, which is still used to
this day, after completion of two preliminary courses, Koshu-kai
and Kenshu-kai.
After the disruption of World War II, the Japanese reconstructed
their Scout movement, with the financial and manpower assistance of
U.S. soldiers. The Japanese adapted their Scouting method to the
U.S. model and renamed their organization "Boy Scouts of
Japan".
