2/8/2018 How to honor Baden-Powell on Founder's Day (Feb. 22) - Bryan on Scouting

B-P was also the �rst recipient of the Silver Bu�alo Award in 1926, thehighest award the BSA gives adults.

Baden-Powell was born Feb. 22, 1857, which is more than 150 yearsago. Scouts worldwide — roughly 30 million in 161 countries— celebrate his birthday each year as Founder’s Day.

You can join the celebration in a number of ways. Here are sevenideas:

1. Learn a little about Baden-Powell

Just who was Robert Stephenson SmythBaden-Powell? Read and �nd out:

Mark Ray’s “Faces of the Founders”article from Scouting magazineintroduces you to B-P and the BSA’s other founding fathers.

This World Organization of the Scout Movement pro�le of B-Pis comprehensive and interesting.

2. Read his words of wisdom

Three of my favorite quotes from the Scoutinglegend speak for themselves:

“It is risky to order a boy not to dosomething; it immediately opens to himthe adventure of doing it.”

“The open-air is the real objective of Scouting and the key to itssuccess.”

“There’s nothing like ‘Being Prepared,’ is there? For what mightseem possible, even if it may not seem probable.”

Be inspired by reading some classic Baden-Powell quotes.Click here for a few hand-picked favorites.

3. See his final message to Scouts

Baden-Powell prepared a farewell message to Scouts that was meantto be shared after his death. He died at age 83 in 1941.

This is my favorite line:

But the real way to get happiness is bygiving out happiness to other people.Try and leave this world a little betterthan you found it and when your turncomes to die, you can die happy infeeling that at any rate you have notwasted your time but have done your best. “Be Prepared” in thisway, to live happy and to die happy- stick to your ScoutPromise always when you have ceased to be a boy — and Godhelp you to do it.

Read the complete letter here.

4. Become a Messenger ofPeace

In the October 1932 issue of Jamboree,Baden-Powell wrote: “Our aim is to bringup the next generation as useful citizenswith a wider outlook than before andthereby to develop goodwill and peace in the worldthrough comradeship and co-operation.”

In fact, as this UNESCO report indicates, peace and World Scoutinghave been close allies since the beginning.

You can join this e�ort by becoming a Messenger of Peace and beinga powerful force for good. Get details on this BSA and WorldScouting program here.

5. Teach the Scouting Heritagemerit badge

Scouting Heritage merit badge, released in 2010,satis�es the desire by Scouts and Scouters to learnmore about Scouting’s history.

And it’s no surprise that Requirement 1 of Scouting Heritage MBreads:

Discuss with your counselor the life and times of Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell. Explain why he felt a program like Scouting

would be good for the young men of his day. Include in yourdiscussion how Scouting was introduced in the United States, andthe origins of Boy Scouting and Cub Scouting under Baden-Powell.

6. Consider how youpronounce B-P’s name

This one comes with a little controversy.I’ve heard Baden-Powell’s namepronounced two ways — the Powell part, atleast.

Some say it like “POW-ull,” while others pronounce it more like “pole.”

B-P himself once address the pronunciation in a short poem:

Man, Nation, Maiden Please call it Baden. Further, for Powell Rhyme it with Noel

Remember that B-P was British, so “noel” is pronounced like this. Inother words, I’ve been pronouncing it wrong pretty much all my life,and it is more like “pole.”

7. Watch this video about B-P

It’s good, but a bit of a hagiography, as you might expect. TimJeal’s “The Boy Man” is bit more historically accurate. No need toover embellish B-P’s interesting life and movement.

Thanks for your clari�cation on how to pronounce B-P’s name. I havebeen trying to teach this since I started doing re-enactments of B-Pfor Wood Badge and other events 12 years ago, but no one had everheard it pronounced that way. I do believe that Lady B-P didpronounce it like Pole when I met her 47 years ago. I asked a Britishfriend how he would pronounce B-P and he told me “BritishPetroleum”. So much for original research.

REPLY

Dean Whinery says:FEBRUARY 22, 2017 AT 11:04 AM

When I was fortunate enough to chat with her for some 15minutes about 40 years ago, I asked about pronuciation. Shereplied, “Well, you Yanks say ‘Bay-den Pow-el’, and we Brits say‘Bah-den Pole’, but my husband suggested saying ‘B-P’ becauseyou cannot mispronounce that.”

BSA continues to push BP as the founder of BSA. But Baden was justusing materials taken from Ernest Seton and Daniel Beard(Americans) who had their movements going decades before his.That Boyce visited London and saw it called Boy Scouts and camehome and convinced these guys to nationalize their movements intoa single one… not sure BP deserves any credit for that at all, really.

If BSA does consider him the father of scouting… why not use the BPoath and law instead of the BSA oath and law?

I guess you have never read “scouting for boys”. It’s true that BPtook some ideas from Seton (I really don’t think the same aboutBeard) but if you read their books you will notice that BP schemewas much more complete and well thought. The patrol system,the merit badges, the law and some games were probably takenfrom Seton’s ideas. BP itself said that both of them were the truefathers of scouting and he was only an uncle, but without hisfame and his hard work scouting never had been successful andthe Birch Bark Roll Indians and the Boy pionneers never hadachieved this goal.

REPLY

j miles says:FEBRUARY 22, 2017 AT 11:37 PM

I think it would be fair to say that the organization andstructure of BSA scouting was derived from BP, However theprogram was almost totally Seton. Probably 80% of the �rstBSA handbook was directly from Seton’s previous writings.The bedrock principles that we ( BSA ) still follow today arefrom from Seton’s “Principles of Woodcraft” BP was known tohave Seton’s books and based much of Scouting For Boys onSeton’s work. BP was a general and used to organizingpeople. BP may well be the “founder “of Scouting. Seton was anaturalist and author- used to developing ideas andcommunicating them, Seton was no doubt the “architect” ofthe BSA program.

I celebrated Founder’s Day by taking my sons (now Boy Scouts) tovisit the Cub Scouts and leaders of our old Pack, who were wintercamping at our council’s Boy Scout camp. I was cajoled into relatingthe story of Lord Baden-Powell. I also retold the local legend of the“man with the bloody hook” for those who wished to hear a scarystory. This was my favorite Founder’s Day ever.

On February 22nd each year around here, we follow the British andUSAF military tradition of holding a Wood Badge “Dining In” formaldinner to recognize the unit’s traditions and founding.

In our case, this is where all Wood Badge holders get together andhave a great time celebrating Scouting. The event also raises fundsvia patch auctions and other fun things for “Wood BadgeScholarships” to help train the next generation of leaders in Baden-Powel’s movement.

It was about this time last year that I was in my �rst weekend atWood Badge. There was a BP reenactor that came and spoke to us atour camp�re. I will never forget that experience. Even the sound ofthe Kutto horn in the darkness behind us just before he asked tocome down and join us. He spoke with us about the history ofscouting and how he came up with the idea. I wish all scouts couldexperience that at some time.

Do you think that Lord Baden-Powell would be proud of anorganization that is working so hard to exclude young men andwomen? With all due respect, I hope not. Additionally, the method inwhich an 18 year old can now be excluded from an organization thathe was a member in good standing the day before that birthday isagainst all fairness that I believe our leader would feel kindly toward.

I am rather relieved to hear the “testimonial comments” made byEdward Hawkins regarding the pronunciation of BP’s name, whichhe recalls from his childhood experiences (through “leaders,teachers and [his] parents.”) “Baden to rhyme with Paid-in andPowell to rhyme with towel.” Those are the “accepted” (at least inAmerica) pronunciations which I clearly recall having been taughtas a 9 year old Cub Scout (in 1943) and all the way throughScouting years until today at age 83. Still a Scout [Scouter] andproud of it.

The verse by B-P above regarding the pronunciation of his last nameis misquoted. Bill Hillcourt’s biography of B-P, Baden-Powell: The TwoLives of a Hero (p. 423, note 1) has it as:

Man, matron, maiden, Please call it Baden. Further for Powell, Rhyme it with Noel.

REPLY

james kinder says:FEBRUARY 22, 2017 AT 9:31 PM

Page 318 of his biography referenced above, Two Lives of a Hero,recounts a dream BP had in late1911, wherein he went to the gate ofheaven and met St. Peter, who asked him, “How did you like Japan?”BP replied, “Japan, I’ve never been to Japan.” To which Peter replied,“Go forth and spread the message of Scouting.” BP awoke andrecorded the dream in his journal and booked passage on a steameracross the Atlantic, and on that steamer he spied the young OlaveSoames, 32 years his junior, also with the same birthday! Their�rstborn son they named Peter. I love telling that story to youngscouts, plugged into technology, at Eagle COH’s to remind them tolook within and pay attention to their dreams, their nightlyconnection to the Divine, and the part we all play in Scouts in theDivine plan.

How about to celebrate B-P’s birthday I produce a major Hollywood-style movie about his life, inspired by the one Cecil B. DeMille wasworking on when he died in 1959. I have access to the DeMillearchives on the project, an Academy Award-winning producer to workwith me, and the support of Michael Baden-Powell, B-P’s grandson.All I need is an introduction to some investors who want to honor ourFounder and make a boatload of money in the process with ablockbuster �lm that has a built-in audience around the world 600million-plus.
