Portrait photo circa 1900 of General Robert Baden-Powell - British soldier and founder of the Scout Movement. Baden-Powell (1857 - 1941) served in the British Army from 1876 to 1910 in India and Africa and rose to the rank of Lieutenant-General. He became a national hero as a result of the Siege of Mafeking (October 1899 - May 1900) - successfully defending the South African town for 217 days during the Second Boer War. His celebrity helped him to found the Scout Movement in 1907 and he also founded the Girl Guides in 1910. Photo by Bain News Service.
