Exactly 150 years ago, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell was born. What a childhood he had. What a career in the military he had. What he did for the youth of the world is still alive today.So I guess, that if my math is correct, he was 50 when he started Scouting. On August 1, 1907 the deal at Brownsea Island took place and the rest is a 100 year history. We will be doing a big celebration on 8/1 at the Jamboree this summer, as well as Scouts from all over the world. The cool thing is that 8/1 is my birthday. I'll be 45.
Happy Birthday BP! I think you would be proud of Scouting today!
