Scout staff

A Scout staff is a shoulder-high wooden pole or quarterstaff, traditionally carried by Boy Scouts as part of their accoutrements. Its main purpose was as a walking stick, but it had a number of other uses in emergency situations and can be used for Scout pioneering.
==History==

When Robert Baden-Powell devised his scheme of Scout citizenship training for boys, published in 1908 in ''Scouting for Boys'', he recommended that Scouts should carry "a strong stick, about as high as your nose, marked in feet and inches for measuring". After listing the various uses to which the staff could be put, he added "If you get the chance, cut your own staff, but remember to get permission first". It was said to have been based on a staff used by a Royal Engineers officer during the Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War. In August 1917, Baden-Powell wrote a critical article in the Headquarters Gazette about "the matter of Scouts being allowed to parade without their staffs, which for several reasons is regrettable". In the same article, he lists the cultural roots of the Scout staff which he claimed were "the scouts of Cuhulain armed with staffs, the pilgrims... with their cockle-shells and staffs, the 'prentice bands of London with their cloth yards and their staffs, the merry men of Robin Hood with bows and quarter staffs, down to the present-day mountaineers, war-scouts, and explorers".
At the 3rd World Scout Jamboree in 1929, French Scouts constructed an 80-foot (24 metre) replica of the Eiffel Tower constructed entirely of lashed Scout staves.〔(''Tenderfoot to Queen's Scout'' ), The Canadian Boy Scouts' Association, 1955 (p. 24)〕
In the United Kingdom, the cost and awkwardness of the staff meant that it became common for Scout Troops to hold a stock of staves in their meeting place, rather than have Scouts carry them about. The final blow came with the 1966 ''Advance Party Report'', which recommended that "With the exception of a knife, no present optional items of uniform (e.g. staff, thumbstick, haversack.... ) may in future be worn".〔The Boy Scouts' Association (1966), (''The Chief Scout's Advance Party Report'' ) (p. 78)〕
