The Scout Association is the largest Scouting organisation in the United Kingdom and is the World Organization of the Scout Movement's recognised member for the United Kingdom. Following the origin of Scouting in 1907, the association was formed in 1910 and incorporated in 1912 by a royal charter under its previous name of The Boy Scouts Association. The association is the largest national Scout organisation in Europe, representing 35% of the membership of the European Scout Region. The association aims to provide "fun, adventure and skills for life and give young people the opportunity to enjoy new adventures, experience outdoors and take part in a range of creative, community and international activities, interact with others, make new friends, gain confidence and have the opportunity to reach their full potential."
The association is led by its Chief Scout, currently the television presenter, adventurer and author Bear Grylls, alongside a UK chief commissioner, currently Tim Kidd, and chief executive, currently Matt Hyde. The association's joint presidents are the Duke of Kent and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and its patron is Queen Elizabeth II.
The association is a member of the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services.

Матч начался по телевизору в 7 часов, поэтому папа еще смотрел телевизор в 07.30. Мама сидела на кухне. Она спокойно читала женский журнал. Рози примеряла мамину одежду в своей комнате. Двоюродные братья Ника слушали рок - музыку. Она играла очень громко, поэтому они не слышали грохота. В 07.30 собаки лежали возле камина (огня) и спали. Ник с другом пошел в сад играть в футбол. Поэтому в 07.30 он еще был там.
So Dad was still watching TV at 07.30. Mum was sitting in the kitchen. She was reading a magazine. Rosie was trying on her Mum's clothes in her room. Nick's cousins were listening to rock music. The dogs were lying in front of the fire and they were sleeping.
