Uno de los movimientos juveniles que mayor repercusión ha tenido en la historia de la educación ha sido los Boy Scouts. Fundado en 1907 por el general Baden Powell, tenía como fin la mejora social de la juventud inglesa. La extensión de la asociación scout fue rápida y en todo el mundo. En España, al igual que en Canarias, fue introducida en 1912 por los militares. Entre los principales puntos de la pedagogía scout está la importancia de la educación física en el desarrollo del ser humano como parte integrante de su educación. Precisamente, la educación física y su extensión en Canarias deben mucho al escultismo. En el presente artículo trataremos de determinar los orígenes de la asociación en las islas, con especial incidencia en el consejo local de la ciudad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, así como la trascendencia que tuvo en la juventud la incorporación de la educación física como parte de la educación general.
One of the most important youth movements in the history of education has been the Boy Scouts. Founded in 1907 by General Baden Powell, whose aim was to improve the social conditions of the English youth. The wide- ranging scope of the scout’s association developed rapidly across the globe. In Spain, as in the Canary Islands, it was started in 1912 by the military. Its main educational functions include physical education in developing the personal growth of human beings as an integral part of their overall education. Indeed, physical education and its development in the Canary Islands owe much to the scout movement. In the present paper we will explore the origins of the association in the islands, with emphasis on the local council in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
