the scouts movements was founded by sir.robertson stevenson smith barden powel of the british army.in 1907he ran the experimental camp for a mixed group of boys on brownsea island off the south cost of england.
the aim of the camp was to teach the boys all he experienced from his life in the african bush as a soldier fighting the boers.the boys taught about self reliance,to feed themselves,decences and service to others.the boys were very encouraged and after the camp barden powel decided to publish the book known as scouting for boys.the book was like a fire which spread all over the world.after only 4 years it had covered the 6000miles from london to zanzibar,
the scouting entered zanzibar in 1912 and the first troop was kiungani high school.the troop was under the leadership of reverend robert keable.
the scouts entered tanganyika,now tanzania in 1917 and the first troop was st.martins school magila.
after tanga the scouts movement spread to some other mailand region,the first mainland regions after tanga were bukoba,tabora and the other regions followed.
in 1936 tanga region registered as tanga local association,this was after bukober had registered in1935.the in 1937 tabora also registered as local association and the first group in tabora was tabora boys school,the troop was under the leadership of emanuel kibira who was as troop leader and mwl.nyerere was as a patrol leader.
after there the scouting spread all over tanganyika.
so this is the short history on how the scouts movement entered zanzibar,tanganyika and then in tanga region.
