Scout Day

Worldwide in nearly all Scout associations, Founders’ Day is celebrated on February 22, the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting, and coincidentally also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889).[1] In Kenya, the grave of Baden Powell has become a pilgrimage site,[2] and each year, the members of the Kenya Scouts Association and Kenya Girl Guides Association celebrate Scouting at the grave.
