The day itself, 22 February, marks the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouts. It’s a birthday he shared with his wife, Olave, on the far right of this picture, who was World Chief Guide, which is why the day is special for Guides too who call it Thinking Day.
As is traditional, Scouts took part in the Annual Wreath Laying Service at the Baden-Powell Memorial at Westminster Abbey represented vy Welsh Explorers, alongside our Girlguiding friends reflecting on what he gave us when he set out the principals for scouting and started our movement.
It is a day to renew your Promise, and think about how Scouting has and still does have the potential to change lives and society in general for the better in whar are trouibling times with conflicts and challenges not least that involving our planet.
