Lord Baden-Powell was a great outdoor boy, bis father died when be was oaly tbree, leaviag six other brothers and sisters. He loved music and sketch- ing. Wben a young man he became Major General in the Army.

During this lie used the boys of the towri as messengers, first aid attendants, and for ether jobs, andi from this be got a lot of ideas to: Scouting. He then wrcte a book called "Aids te Scoutlng", which was used for training soldiers. When lie came back te Eng. land lie found bis bock bad been used in the schools there. B. P. as lie as known te be called, wanted te do seme- tlîiag for the boys of Eagland, se he started what lie called "Scouting for Boys". This was in 1907.
