Seventy-one years ago the Rev. Professor Baden-Powell of Oxford and Langeton Manor, rejoiced at the birth of his sixth son, later christened Robert. A million and a half Boy Scouts could tell you that Sir Robert Baden-Powell has gone a long way In seventy-one years. Loyalty, trustworthiness, strength of character and of body and a great submission of self In the interests of others, has been the path followed since childhood by the British hero of the Boer War, the world wide hero of Seo'.itdom. Military strategist, sportsman, artist and author though he may be, it is ill rough his beloved Scout movement that he will receive a niche in the halls of fame.

They knew every little hill and valley in the country. They were quick to realize their advantage and won several victories before the weight of numbers and superior generalship proved their undoing. They managed to cut off Lady-smith, Kimberley and Mafeking and the British suffered heavy losses. The open and fortified town of Mafeking was under the command of Baden-Powell at the time and the true greatness of his military genius came to the fore.

He issued temporary currency for the occasion and by strict rationing of supplies made possible the high morale that enabled the garrison to hold out until relieved on May 19, 1900. From commander of the Fifth Dragoon Guards, "B.P." rose to the rank major-general. The experience he had gleaned of general warfare through his many travels in the army made him a marked man in military ind to the The First Boy Scouts. It was this wide experience of scout 'ork in the army and training in the handling of men that set Baden-for the stage and the flght | ^11 off on a scheme that made him ,i +™ *v.„lkn°wn to the whole world and liked and revered. In 1907 he started the first Boy Scout Troop. He intended it as an organization to be devoted to outdoor activities. But the enormous potentialities of the plan soon became evident and the following year he formally launched the movement along the lines that still are followed. In boys of all creeds, classes and nationalities he believed the Boy Scout movement would develop character and intelligence, health and physical development^ handicraft and skill, unselfish services for others, happiness. He said, in now famous words: "To those who are not sure of what is meant by the term-'Boy Scout,' I may explain that it practically stands for gentleman--a man who bitio was on. It remained on, too, until the boy tried for a commission in the army. There were 700 candidates and the clergyman's son ranked second on the list. This called for a natural compromise between the boy and his father, and Robert Baden-Powell- began his military career at the age of IS.: Many Campaigns. Baden Powell fought in India and in Afghanistan. The Zululand campaign In 18SS found him ready and won him a mention in despatches. The boy officer of the 13th Hussars, which he joined in 1S7G, had won his spurs! Then came the Boer war. It has been called the "war of guile."
