Robert Baden-Powell
Robert Baden-Powell was a British Army officer born on February 22, 1857. He is best known for founding the Boy Scouts, an organization aimed at promoting outdoor skills, teamwork, and good citizenship among young people. His experiences in the military, particularly during the Second Boer War, inspired him to create a program that encouraged boys to develop practical skills and moral values.
In 1907, Baden-Powell held the first experimental camp on Brownsea Island in England, which laid the groundwork for the Scouting movement. His book, "Scouting for Boys," published in 1908, further popularized the movement, leading to the establishment of Scout groups worldwide.
