Scouting and Baden Powell

 The statue at Poole, Dorset opposite Brownsea Island of Robert Baden-Powell

Baden-Powell at the 1935 Jamboree, lionized by the Scouts.

He is MY hero, the founder of Scouting for Boys and Guiding for Girls, teaching personal, social and practical skills, increasing the confidence and competence of millions of boys and girls around the World of all races, religion, class and language, moulding them into good productive and useful Men and Women. 

Scouts and Cub Scouts of my City Region, standing proud by our Standard, part of the best thing many of my peers belonged to and to which I have a separate blog devoted to.
