Sea Scouts
Robert Baden-Powell asked his brother Warington to head up the first specialized branch of the Boy Scouts Association. Warington Baden-Powell agreed, and Sea Scouting was officially organized in England in 1912. Warington then wrote the first official Sea Scout manual, Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys. The manual sold well and Sea Scouting flourished.

The sands were dry as dry.

No birds were flying overhead—
There were no birds to fly.”

Of boy scouts from Nagoya?”
