FIRST MEXICAN BOY SCOUTS HANDBOOK, WRITTEN BY ITS FOUNDER BOYS SCOUTS IN MEXICO The Mexican Boy Scouts, inaugurated in 1917 as the Corps of Mexican Explorers and later Tribes of Mexican Explorers, grew under the direction of German born Mexican citizen Federico Clarck. Clarck had dedicated years to the observation of Boy Scouts organization in 18 countries around the world. He modeled his vision directly on the international Boy Scouts organization, but it quickly adopted a distinctly nationalist hue. Clack published four volumes titled ¿El Explorador Mexicano¿, versions and excerpts of which appeared in related popular children´s magazines published by the Boy Scouts. These publications, based heavily on the U.S. magazine Boy´s Life, were nevertheless edited to include references to national history, geography and heroes. Organized Scout activity began in Mexico in the year of 1928. (Elena Jackson Albarran. Seen and Heard in Mexico: Children and Revolutionary Cultural Nationalism. U of Nebraska Press, 01/01/2015).
