Monday 4 July 2022 holiday Independence day
Independence Day, also called Fourth of July or July 4th, in the United States, the annual celebration of nationhood. It commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The Congress had voted in favour of independence from Great Britain on July 2 but did not actually complete the process of revising the Declaration of Independence, originally drafted by Thomas Jefferson in consultation with fellow committee members John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and William Livingston, until two days later. The celebration was initially modeled on that of the king’s birthday, which had been marked annually by bell ringing, bonfires, solemn processions, and oratory. Such festivals had long played a significant role in the Anglo-American political tradition. Especially in the 17th and 18th centuries, when dynastic and religious controversies racked the British Empire (and much of the rest of Europe), the choice of which anniversaries of historic events were celebrated and which were lamented had clear political meanings. The ritual of toasting the king and other patriot-heroes—or of criticizing them—became an informal kind of political speech, further formalized in mid-18th century when the toasts given at taverns and banquets began to be reprinted in newspapers.  In the early stages of the revolutionary movement in the colonies during the 1760s and early ’70s, patriots used such celebrations to proclaim their resistance to Parliament’s legislation while lauding King George III as the real defender of English liberties. However, the marking of the first days of independence during the summer of 1776 actually took the form in many towns of a mock funeral for the king, whose “death” symbolized the end of monarchy and tyranny and the rebirth of liberty.

Scout Scarf Day, celebrated on 1 August 2022 Holiday, honors scouts across the world by encouraging them to step out of the house with their scouts scarf on! But why wear a scarf, you ask? Because a scout’s scarf brings the spirit of scouting into the limelight and also sheds light on the basic everyday life hacks that scouts are taught. For instance, the scarf around the neck is used to protect the body from sunburn and can also be used as a band-aid in situations where a first aid kit is unavailable. Hence, over time, the scouts’ scarf has become a symbol of strength and courage. If you have been holding onto your scouts’ neckerchief, now is the time to sport it!
HISTORY OF SCOUT SCARF DAY
Scout Scarf Day was formed in 2007 after scout groups across the world collaborated and decided that scouts deserve to be celebrated. This is mainly because scouts are given the sort of training that serves them throughout their lifetime. This includes survival tips, personality grooming, as well as the renowned ‘scouts promise’ that revolves around always staying true to the Scout’s Law. The promise centers on loyalty, trust, and always helping others. It is also important to note that Scout Scarf Day is not the sole holiday that celebrates the scouting movement. In fact, scouting is so loved and respected that many special days have been appointed to recognize the honor of scouts.
Here’s a little background on how scouting started. In 1904, Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell of the British Army started studying the behavior of boys. He believed the youth of the day was drifting towards “hooliganism” and needed “guiding hands.” With an aim to teach young boys about right and wrong, he wrote a book titled “Scouting for Boys.” After the book was published in 1907, numerous scouting groups started to emerge worldwide. General Powell further implemented his theories and teachings by heading out on a nine-day journey with a group of 22 boys. During this trip, he taught them all that he knew about patriotism, chivalry, and basic manners that they must adhere to as they grow up. His aim was to make them responsible and productive. By the time the boys returned home, they were proficient in survival skills, camping skills, as well as the teachings required to make them good citizens of the nation.
