Pengakap telah diasaskan oleh seorang bangsa lnggeris bernama Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell yang terkenal dengan nama Lord Baden-Powell atau BP. Baden-Powell dilahirkan di bandar London, England pada 22 Februari 1857, dan meninggal dunia pada 8 Januari, 1941. Bapa Baden-Powell bernama Reverend H.G. Baden-Powell adalah seorang mahaguru di Universiti Oxford, London, England. Ibunya ialah anak kepada Laksamana British bernama William Henry Smyth.

Sewaktu Baden-Powell berusia tiga tahun, bapanya meninggal dunia dan tinggallah beliau bersama ibunya dalam keadaan yang sederhana. Pada zaman persekolahan Baden-Powell banyak menceburkan diri dalam kegiatan sekolahnya seperti berlakon, menyanyi dan menembak. Dalam masa cuti sekolah Baden-Powell bersama-sama tiga orang abangnya selalu pergi mengembara berjalan kaki berkhemah, belayar dan berperahu. Setelah berjaya dalam peperiksaan tentera, BP telah ditauliahkan sebagai Leftenan Muda dan mula berkhidmat dalam tentera di India dan Afghanistan dalam tahun 1876, kemudian ke Natal (Zululand) dan Malta sebagai penolong Setiausaha Tentera.

Beberapa tahun kemudian beliau dihantar bertugas di Afrika Barat untuk menamatkan satu peperangan di Ashanti, Ghana. Di situ beliau digelar KANTANKYE yang bermaksud Topi Besar. Dalam peperangan Baden-Powell sentiasa berhati-hati terhadap pergerakan musuh hinggakan beliau digelar IMPEESA yang bermaksud Serigala yang tak pernah tidur. Dalam tahun 1897, BP dinaikan pangkat menjadi Kolonel dan ditempatkan di India untuk memimpin Dragoon Guard ke 5. Beliau telah memberi hadiah kepada askar-askar yang menunjukkan kebolehan yang baik dengan satu lencana bergelar SCOUTS (Peninjau).

Dalam tahun 1899 Baden-Powell pulang ke England membawa sebuah buku yang dikarangnya semasa di Kashmir berjodol Aids To Scouting. Buku itu mengandungi kisah peninjauan di India. Tidak lama kemudian, Baden-Powell telah dihantar ke Afrika Selatan untuk menambahkan dua rejimen askar berkuda untuk mempertahankan sempadan British dari serangan orang Boer iaitu puak keturunan pendatang Belanda. Orang-orang British telah mengepung bandar Mafeking, iaitu sebuah bandar jajahan British, dengan itu mencetuskan satu peperangan besar yang dinamakan Peperangan Boer. Dalam peperangan itu, Baden-Powell hanya mempunyai seramai 1,000 orang askar berbanding dengan 9,000 orang Boer. Dengan tipu helah, beliau meletakkan periuk api pasir dan papan tanda BAHAYA sehingga beliau telah berjaya memperdayakan orang-orang Boer.

Beliau telah menggunakan budak-budak untuk mengintip rahsia musuh. Akhirnya Baden-Powell berjaya memenangi peperangan itu. Di atas kemenangan itu, beliau telah dinaikkan pangkat Mejar Jeneral ketika berumur 43 tahun, pegawai yang termuda menerima pangkat itu. Selepas perang Boer, Baden-Powell diarahkan menubuhkan pasukan polis Afrika Selatan dan dilantik sebagai Jeneral Tentera Berkuda. Beliau menjadi Jeneral pasukan tentera Simpanan ketika berumur 50 tahun.

Setelah bersara dari tentera, Baden-Powell pulang ke England dan telah menganjurkan satu perkhemahan di Pulau Browsea selama 10 hari pada tahun 1907. Seramai 21 orang budak-budak turut serta dalam perkhemahan itu. Baden-Powell menggunakan idea berpandukan kepada pengalamannya dalam peperangan Mafeking dan buku "Aids To Scouting". Budak-budak itu dibahagikan kepada empat patrol. Mereka belajar dan berlatih cara berkhemah, memasak, memerhati, mengembara, berperahu, menyelamat nyawa dan mengesan jejak. Pada malamnya diadakan unggun api. Perkhemahan di Pulau Browsea berjaya dan amat diminati oleh budak-budak yang menyertainya.

Selepas itu dalam tahun 1908, Baden-Powell pula mengarang sebuah buku berjudul "Scouting For Boys". Kandungannya berdasarkan kepada pengalaman beliau semasa menjadi askar di India dan Afrika serta perkhemahan budak-budak di Pulau Browsea. Buku itu telah memikat hati budak-budak. Dengan itu wujudlah Pergerakan Pengakap. Dalam tempoh setahun sahaja Pergerakan Pengakap berkembang di England dan merebak ke Australia, Canada, New Zealand dan Afrika Selatan. Berikutnya pada tahun 1909, Pergerakan Pengakap ditubuhkan di Chile, Amerika Syarikat, Ghana, India dan selepas itu di seluruh dunia.

Apa Itu Pengakap ?

Ten Tips for Being a Good Patrol Leader

1. Keep Your Word. Don't make promises you can't keep.

2. Be Fair to All. A good leader shows no favorites. Don't allow friendships to keep you from being fair to all members of your patrol. Know who likes to do what, and assign duties to patrol members by what they like to do.

3. Be a Good Communicator. You don't need a commanding voice to be a good leader, but you must be willing to step out front with an effective "Let's go." A good leader knows how to get and give information so that everyone understands what's going on.

4. Be Flexible. Everything doesn't always go as planned. Be prepared to shift to "plan B" when "plan A" doesn't work.

5. Be Organized. The time you spend planning will be repaid many times over. At patrol meetings, record who agrees to do each task, and fill out the duty roster before going camping.

6. Delegate. Some leaders assume that the job will not get done unless they do it themselves. Most people like to be challenged with a task. Empower your patrol members to do things they have never tried.

7. Set an Example. The most important thing you can do is lead by example. Whatever you do, your patrol members are likely to do the same. A cheerful attitude can keep everyone's spirits up.

8. Be Consistent. Nothing is more confusing than a leader who is one way one moment and another way a short time later. If your patrol knows what to expect from you, they will more likely respond positively to your leadership.

9. Give Praise. The best way to get credit is to give it away. Often a "Nice job" is all the praise necessary to make a Scout feel he is contributing to the efforts of the patrol.

10. Ask for Help. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. You have many resources at your disposal. When confronted with a situation you don't know how to handle, ask someone with more experience for some advice and direction.

Lord Baden Powell Quotes

"In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations".

The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature."

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Nature study is the key activity in Scouting and Guiding.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The study of nature brings into a harmonious whole the question of the infinite, the historic and the microscopic as part of the Great Creator's work. And in these, sex and reproduction play an honoured part.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

When a Wolf Cub hears the words "Nature study" his first thought is about school collections of dried leaves, but real Nature study means a great deal more than this; it means knowing about everything that is not made by man, but is created by God.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Nature study should not be the mere formal class teaching of the school, but the interested pursuit of each individual girl in that branch of it which particularly appeals to her, through practical handling and dealing with it.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The man who is blind to the beauties of Nature has missed half the pleasure of life.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

A Lady Cubmaster was teaching a Cub Natural History, and asked him:

"What is a rabbit covered with - is it hair, or wool, or fur, or what".

The Cub replied: "Good gracious, Akela, haven't you ever seen a rabbit?".

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

God has given us a world to live in that is full of beauties and wonders and He has given us not only eyes to see them but minds to understand them, if we only have the sense to look at them in that light.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

A Scout/Guide should save animals as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unnecessarily, not even the smallest of God's creatures.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

By continually watching animals in their natural state one gets to like them too well to shoot them. The whole sport of hunting animals lies in the woodcraft of stalking them, not in the killing.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

An animal has been made by God just as you have been. He is therefore a fellowcreature. He has not the power of speaking our language, but can feel pleasure or pain just as we can, and he can feel grateful to anyone who is kind to him. A Scout is always helpful to people who are crippled or blind or deaf and dumb; so he is good also to these dumb fellow-creatures of ours.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

As a Scout, you are the guardian of the woods. A Scout never damages a tree by hacking it with his knife or axe. It does not take long to fell a tree, but it takes many years to grow one, so a Scout cuts down a tree for a good reason only – not just for the sake of using his axe. For every tree felled, two should be planted."

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the forest is at once a laboratory, a club and a temple

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

There's nothing like 'Being Prepared' is there, for what might seem possible, even if it may not seem probable.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Try to leave this world a little better than you found it and, when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The open-air is the real objective of Scouting and the key to its success.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The key that unlocks the spirit of the movement is the romance of woodcraft and nature lore.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Scouting is a school of citizenship through woodcraft.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

An individual step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Be Prepared... the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

See things from the boy's point of view.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The Scoutmaster teaches boys to play the game by doing so himself.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

The uniform makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences ofclass and country.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

To get a hold on boys you must be their friend.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

Trust should be the basis for all our moral training.

Lord Baden-Powell

Founder of Scouting

When you want a thing done, 'Don't do it yourself' is a good motto for Scoutmasters.

SEJARAH PENGAKAP MALAYSIA

"Perubahan Terhadap Logo Pengakap Malaysia Dalam Jangka Masa 100 Tahun"

Pada tahun 1910, seorang peneroka pengakap dari London bernama F.C. Sands datang ke Singapura dan menubuhkan dua pasukan untuk anak-anak Inggeris. Pada tahun 1919, Kapten N.M. Hashim dan A.Z. Alsajoff telah menubuhkan pasukan pengakap untuk budak-budak Melayu yang berbahasa Inggeris di Singapura.

Negeri-negeri Melayu yang mula-mula menubuhkan pasukan pengakap ialah di Pekan, Pahang oleh G.M. Laidlow. Pada tahun 1915, pergerakan pengakap ditubuhkan di Pulau Pinang oleh seorang ahli pendidik, iaitu H.R. Chessman di Penang Free School.

Pada tahun 1922, pergerakan pengakap ditubuhkan di Perak oleh I.R. Wheeler di Maktab Melayu Kuala Kangsar. Di Melaka dan Negeri Sembilan ia ditubuhkan oleh Brunstone, di Selangor oleh Ameen Akhbar, di Terengganu oleh A.J. Gracle pada 1927, di Kelantan oleh Y.M. Tengku Ahmad Temenggong dan di Johor oleh Chessman pada 1928 di English College (kini Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar) Pada tahun 1931, pergerakan pengakap ditubuhkan di Perlis. Sabah pula menubuhkan pergerakan pengakap pada tahun 1913 dan Sarawak pada tahun 1915.

Sebelum perang dunia kedua, Persekutuan Budak-budak Pengakap Tanah Melayu meliputi semua negeri. Selepas perang dunia kedua, pergerakan pengakap di Malaya dan Singapura dimasukkan menjadi cawangan Persekutuan Pengakap Great Britian. Selepas merdeka pada tahun 1957, Persekutuan Budak-budak Pengakap Tanah Melayu menjadi ahli penuh dalam Persidangan Pengakap Sedunia. Dengan penubuhan Malaysia pada tahun 1963, namanya telah ditukarkan kepada Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia (PPM) dan keahliannya termasuk negeri Sabah, Sarawak dan Singapura.

Rumah BP yang terletak di Jalan Hang Jebat (Davidson Road), Kuala Lumpur merupakan Ibu Pejabat PPM. Ia telah dibuka secara rasminya pada 5hb Januari 1957 oleh Tuan Yang Teramat Mulia Sir Donald Macgillivray K.C.M.G., M.B.E. sempena menyambut perayaan ulang tahun ke-50 pengakap dunia.
