A private collection tracing the history of the International Scouting (and Guides) movement since its beginnings in 1907. Five rooms of posters, badges, books....plus a reconstruction of a Scout camp. (Original text by MT du Pays d?Arlon)Seven halls are open to the public. This museum exhibits very rare pieces: the first international camp in 1907 in Brownsea, some Baden-Powell's handwritten letters the world jamborees since 1920, the main scout comic illustrators such as Hergé, Joubert, Mitacq, Peyo, King Baudouin's passage in scoutism, and finally scout buildings in camps
