1867 Association Baden Powell Scout Scouting Scouts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Kingsgate," dates back to 1867, and offers a glimpse into a significant moment in the history of scouting. The image features Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, and his associate, Reverend Lord Edward Henry Scourfield, standing at the entrance of Kingsgate, a picturesque archway located in the English countryside. At the time this photograph was taken, Baden-Powell was a decorated military officer and an author, known for his writings on reconnaissance and military strategy. However, it was his innovative approach to character development and moral education for young people that would ultimately leave a lasting impact on the world. The association between Baden-Powell and Scourfield began in 1896 when they met during a camping trip in Brownsea Island. This encounter led to the development of the Scout Movement, which would officially begin in 1907. The principles of self-reliance, respect for others, and service to the community, which are still the cornerstones of the Scouting movement today, were first introduced during this period. In this photograph, Baden-Powell and Scourfield are seen in casual attire, with the former wearing a straw hat and holding a walking stick, while the latter carries a rifle. The serene setting of Kingsgate, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic moment. This photograph is a testament to the early days of the Scouting movement and the camaraderie between its founding figures. It is a reminder of the transformative power of nature, friendship, and the desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young people.
