Boy scout \Boy scout\
   Orig., a member of the "Boy Scouts," an organization of boys
   founded in 1908, by Sir R. S. S. Baden-Powell, to promote
   good citizenship by creating in them a spirit of civic duty
   and of usefulness to others, by stimulating their interest in
   wholesome mental, moral, industrial, and physical activities,
   etc. Hence, a member of any of the other similar
   organizations, which are now worldwide. In "The Boy Scouts of
   America" the local councils are generally under a scout
   commissioner, under whose supervision are scout masters, each
   in charge of a troop of two or more patrols of eight scouts
   each, who are of three classes, {tenderfoot}, {second-class
   scout}, and {first-class scout}.
