Unless it was being used as a more generic term, the Boy Scouts of America wasn't incorporated until February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916. It had been formed in Great Britain only a few years prior to 1910.

However, I do seem to recall seeing some references to a Capt. Bowie's Independent Company somewhere.
