Today we mark the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell born in 1857, the founder of Scouting for boys and through his wife also Girl Guiding too whose experiences during the Boer War have continued to inspire a generations of young people helping to raise good healthy adults too.
The world may well of changed since his death in 1941 in many ways but the principals that unpin scouting are timeless and in so many ways he was ahead of the time in understanding what children and young people actually need to develop.
This Cub Scout in spirit salutes him for what that movements ideals are and the difference it is making to my life
