Robert Baden-Powell, the intrepid 1st Baron Baden-Powell (1857-1941), is seen at home with his beloved dogs in this 1929 photograph, reflecting on his remarkable life as a soldier and the founder of the Scout Movement. The image contrasts with the chaos of the Mafeking night in London, 1900 (1906), where the relief of the siege brought jubilation to the streets. In this oil painting from 1903, Baden-Powell is depicted in military uniform, a testament to his military career. The Scout Movement, which began in 1907, is illustrated in a group of men in uniform in front of a tipi in Buckinghamshire, 1913. Baden-Powell's infectious spirit and leadership inspired generations, as seen in this black and white photograph of British Scouts from 1900, affectionately known as 'Bobs Eyes.' The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, shares a moment with Baden-Powell at the Imperial Jamboree in Wembley, London, England, in 1924.
