What year did the Boy Scouts of America become incorporated?

Scouting was founded in England by General Robert Baden-Powell in 1907. He utilized the tenets of Ernest Thomas Seton's "Woodland Indians" from 1902. Powell's book Aids in Scouting was written after his experiences in 1899 with the Mafeking Scouts, a boy cadet corps during the Siege of Mafeking in the Second Boer War. Powell rewrote the book as Scouting for Boys in 1908.

The Boy Scouts of America were incorporated in the US by William D. Boyce on February 8, 1910.

The 1st Glasgow Scout Group in Scotland holds the earliest known registration certificate, dated 26th January 1908, issued by the Scouting Association. The Group was formed from the Glasgow Battalion of the Army Cadet Corps; its Adjutant was Captain Robert E Young. In June 1907, they formed the 'Cadets' Winter Recreation Training Club'. The club was a success from the beginning, as 'Boss' Young related: "At first we met at my house, signaled up and down the stairs, tied knots around the banisters and always finished with a good tuck-in." 'Boss' Young met B-P during Autumn 1907 who suggested that the Club could experiment with the ideas contained in 'Scouting for Boys'. On the 16th January 1908, the Club was formally disbanded and The First Glasgow Troop of Boy Scouts was registered with Scout HQ in London.
