Scouts around the world are celebrating Founder's Day today.  Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Lord of Gilwell  and founder of the Scout movement, was born 156 years ago today (Feb 22).

Happy 156th Birthday, B-P!  We wish you a jolly good day!


If you would like to learn more about B-P, try this excellent book, written by another giant in Scouting history, William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt.





Let's also wish is wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell a happy birthday, too.  She would have been 124 today!
