Robert Baden-Powell

Robert Baden-Powell was a British Army officer and founder of the Scout Movement in 1907. He developed Scouting to teach young people skills like leadership, outdoor survival, and teamwork, fostering character, responsibility, and citizenship. His ideas emphasized practical skills, self-reliance, and service to others. The movement quickly grew worldwide, becoming a prominent youth organization that promotes outdoor activities, community involvement, and personal development for boys and, later, girls. Baden-Powell’s work significantly influenced youth education and outdoor learning, leaving a lasting legacy of empowering young people through adventure and service.
