Mishima Michiharu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viscount Michiharu Mishima (三島通陽 Mishima Michiharu?) (January 1, 1897 - April 20, 1965) was an early Japanese Scouting notable.
Japan was a Founding Member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922, and the organization was reformed as the Boy Scouts of Japan in April 1922 by Count Futara Yoshinori and Viscount Mishima.
Viscount Mishima held a Scouting exhibition in February 1946, the first since the end of World War II. The National Boy Scout Alliance of Japan was founded in 1947, and Mishima became the first president, and later served as Chief Scout of Japan.
J.S. Wilson presented the Wood Badge to Viscount Mishima, which he had earned at Gilwell after the Austrian World Scout Jamboree.
In 1961, Viscount Mishima was awarded the Bronze Wolf, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting.
