22 February 1857 –

British Army, writer, and founder of the
Scout Movement.After having been educated at
Charterhouse School, Baden-Powell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. In 1899, during the
Second Boer War in
South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the city in the
Siege of Mafeking. Several of his military books, written for
military reconnaissance and scout training in his African years, were also read by boys. Based on those earlier books, he wrote
Scouting for Boys, published in 1908 by
Pearson, for youth readership. During writing, he tested his ideas through a
camping trip on Brownsea Island that began on
1 August 1907, which is now seen as the beginning of Scouting.
