This period is celebrated differently differently in various countries around the world, but it revolves around B.P.'s birthday, also known as Founder's Day, on February 22nd. Lord Robert Baden Powell was born in London, England on 22nd February, 1857. At the age of 19 he was commissioned commissioned in the 13th Hussars and he served in both India and Africa. At the age of 42 he became world-famous when he and his tiny garrison held the beseiged depot of Mafe- king for 217 days against the Boers. As a training aid for young soldiers, B.P. wrote "Aids to Scouting" but in 1902 he discovered discovered that this was being used in schools and the Boys' Brigade. In the summer of 1907, he decided to run an experimental camp with 20 boys at Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour. The camp lasted two weeks. That camp was to change a great many lives. Percy Everett, later B.P.'s Valentines old and new Centuries ago, when a young woman's fancy turned to love, she would slip into the nearest graveyard at the stroke of midnight, midnight, sing a prescribed chant and run frantically around the church in hopes that the vision of her intended lover would be revealed to her. She was curious curious and courageous and ... it was St. Valentine's Day. According to Bob Lank, Marketing Operations Manager for Hallmark Cards, "The origins origins of Valentine's Day date back to the European Middle Ages, but like many enduring customs and traditions, they are sketchy." The most popular and accepted accepted theory,.however, is that the Romans held a feast, called Lupcrcalia, in honor of the goddess Juno Februata. The names of all the unwed young women were placed in a box and drawn by the young men in the village. The matched pair were then expected to be partners partners for the year, and hopefully fall in love. And though the custom of sending poems or letters to loved ones did not catch on until the 1600s, a French nobleman nobleman is credited with the creation creation of "valentine poems" which he sent to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. 1 During the 1600s, English settlers brought this custom to North America, and by the early 1700s booklets of poems and love messages were being commercially sold. Often the poetry was copied onto gilt- edged paper which was decorated decorated with emblems such as Cupid, bleeding hearts, turtle doves and lovers' knots. "The first commercial Valentine Valentine cards appeared on the market market in the early 1800s," says Lank. "In fact, Valentines are the oldest form of greeting cards." According to Lank, the original original commercial cards ranged from sophisticated declarations of love to the cutting "vinegar" valentines that became known as "penny dreadfuls." Designed by American cartoonist Charles Howard, these cards sold for a penny and the public considered them dreadful because of their insulting wit. With the reduction of postal rates in 1898, the popularity of Valentines soared, and now Valentine's Valentine's Day is the second most important seasonal card-sending occasion next to Christmas. Gordon has been selected for a one-year tour with the musical and educational group called Up With People. However, in order to tour With the group, he is required to raise one-third of the cost or approximately $5,800. This Saturday's concert is one of the young musician's fund-raising events. right hand man, who was knighted for his services to Scouting wrote: "B.P. I can see him still as he stands in the flickering light of the fire - an alert figure, full of the joy of life, now grave, now gay, answering answering all manner of questions, imitating the call of birds, showing how to stalk a wild animal, flashing out a story, dancing and singing round the fire, pointing a moral, not in actual words, but in such an elusive and yet convincing way that everyone present, boy or man, was ready to follow him wherever he might lead." Later that year, the publication publication 'Scouting for Boys' was issued in two-weekly parts and Scouting was begun. In 1908, finding his following included girls, he was instrumental instrumental in founding the Girl Guide Movement. In 1918, his wife, Lady Olave Baden Powell, became Chief Guide. Before long, Scouting was a world-wide brotherhood and the first world jamboree was held in 1920 at Olympia. In 1929, B.P. became Lord Baden-Powell of Gillwell. His last public appearance was at the world jamboree in Holland in 1937 and in 1938 he returned to his beloved Kenya. Here it was that he died on January 8th, 1941. His parting words were, "Try to leave this world a little better than you found it." Sixteen years after his death there were seven million Scouts and four million Guides world wide with 40 million former members. He left not only a living memorial to his work and ideas, but a blue-print for peace.
