Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell (Lord), British General and founder of the Boy Scout Movement in 1908 and in 1910 with his sister Agnes, the Girl Guides, was born in London in 1857 and died in 1941.

The world committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement had fixed August 1st 1907 as the starting date of the Movement, as on that day Baden Powell had organized a ten-day camp which led Scouting to spread across the British Empire and other countries of the world.

Boys and girls, men and women irrespective of class can take part for Scouting’s common principles are faith in God and the homeland and love for their fellow beings.
