Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell (1857 - 1941) was an accomplished soldier who first came to wide public notice as the 'hero of the Siege of Mafeking'(1899 - 1900) during the Boer War. He is better known as the founder of the Boy Scout movement. This achievement and his concern with 'old values' has sometimes obscured the innovational nature of his educational thinking. What is overlooked is his concern with the social lives and imagination of young people, and how he was able to build on this to develop an associational educational form. Robert Baden-Powell placed a special value on adventure; on children and young people working together - and taking responsibility (his 'patrol' building on the idea of 'natural' friendship groups and 'gangs'); on developing self-sufficiency; and on 'learning through doing' (he was deeply suspicious of curriculum forms). In this article we examine some of the key aspects of his approach.

Why were Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts founded?
Robert Baden-Powell started the Scouting Movement (Boy Scouts) in 1908 because of his experiences in the British Army. He felt that boys could benefit from the Scout method, a program of informal education and practical activities such as camping, hiking, sports, backpacking, aquatics, and woodcraft. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides were founded because girls also wanted to be Scouts. Many groups of girls began forming their own troops and one group of girls attended a Boy Scout rally in 1909 calling themselves "Scouts". Robert Baden-Powell felt that girls should have their own organization so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help found the Girl Guide organization in 1910. Some organizations have chosen to use "Girl Scouts" instead of "Girl Guides". Baden Powell specifically wrote his books because he found his new military recruits were clueless about how to function in the outdoors (hence the name "scouts" - it refers to military scouts). Several scouting movements were actually established in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The unifying themes are that they looked to stimulate an interest and comfort in outdoors activities, promote good moral values, and give children wholesome activities with which to occupy themselves.
