With up to 100 people were expected to gather in Ballinamallard this morning to usher in the new century of Scouting.

Past leaders, current leaders along with the Scouts of today will be in attendance.

The Scout promise will be led by county President Mark Scott while past president Bishop Hannon will also be in attendance.

On 1 August 1907, Scouting's Founder Robert Baden-Powell blew his kudu horn on Brownsea Island at Poole Harbour in Southern England at 08:00 to open the world's first Scout camp.

Soon thereafter, Scouting began to quickly spread around the world and now exists in 216 countries and territories.

2007, the 100th anniversary of Scouting is being seen an opportunity to demonstrate the unique value of Scouting to the world and to celebrate the achievements of 100 years of Scouting.
