Considering Baden Powell





February. Any special day in this month? Or special moment has been happening? I think everyone have different answer, right? For some people in this world, maybe they have celebrated valentine day. Ya, February 14. Do you get some chocolate from your friends? A flowers from your someone special, maybe? Doll, or others? :D

But this month very special is not only because valentine day, but also... hmm, some people may know that today is birthday of a man who is very influential for the development  of  youth education in the world.

A hero who was born in Paddington, London, 1857. He have a wife named Olave St. Clair Soames whom he had married on October 30, 1912. At that time, Olave was 23 years old and he is 55 years old. Interestingly, because of the marriage, each British Scouts give a contributed one of penny for bought a wedding gift. Then, they bought a wedding gift, that is a Rolls Royce.

Who is he?

Yap! He is Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell (Lord Robert Stephenson Smiyth Baden Powell of Gilwell). Over all merit and his dedication, in 1938 the Royal Academy of Sweden confers Baden Powell and all members of the Scout Movement the Nobel of Peace in 1939.

The Scout Movement celebrate February 22 as the day of BP, a date of birth between Olave and Baden Powell as Chief  Scout of the world.

Well, if he was still alive, maybe Baden Powell has 156 years old today. Although he was dead, but I think his name will never die and forgotten. So, happy birthday to you, Baden Powell.

There are some words which I like from Baden Powell. He said this at the opening in his book Scouting for Boys,

" A true Scout is looked up to by other boys and by grownups as a fellow who can be trusted, a fellow who will not fail to do his duty however risky and dangerous it may be, a fellow who is jolly and cheery no matter how great the difficulty before him." I will remember these words. A sentence full of advice and encouragement.

I would like to say happy birthday to you once again….


Baden Powell, Happy Birthdaaaayy…!! Love you, yeah! J
