About the Author

Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell, OM, GCMG, GCVO (1857 –1941) was a lieutenant-general in the British Army and later the founder of the Boy Scout Movement. Known as B-P or Lord Baden-Powell, he was the first Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts Association.
Baden-Powell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. He developed his scouting skills amidst the Zulus. During the Second Boer War, he defended the South African town of Mafeking.
Working as intelligence officer for the Director of Military Intelligence, he frequently travelled disguised as a butterfly collector. He hid plans of military installations in his drawings of butterfly wings.
After retiring from the Army, Baden-Powell rewrote his military training manual for a younger audience and the Scouting Movement was born. B-P’s wife, Olave St Clair Soames, and his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell were instrumental in founding the Girl Guides.
Baden-Powell lived his last years in Kenya where he is buried.
