Wish All Brother and Sister Scouts and Guides a Very Warm Founders Day!!!
February 22nd marks the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement. Coincidentally, B-P (born in 1857) and his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889), shared the same birthday.
Nearly all National Scout Associations throughout the world, celebrate this day as « Founder's Day ». It is considered a special day, as well as an opportunity to learn more about BP's life and his work. Girl Guides mark this day as Thinking Day.
