Description: This text by the msn bing chatbot Copilot: Lord Robert Baden-Powell (1857–1941) was a British general and the founder of the modern Scouting movement. During the Boer War of 1899–1900, he became a national hero by successfully defending the town of Mafeking with a small garrison. Baden-Powell’s legacy extends beyond military achievements; he also founded the Boy Scouts in 1908, leaving an indelible mark on youth education and character development worldwide. Scouting, founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell, traces its origins to August 1, 1907. Baden-Powell’s first experimental camp with 20 boys on Brownsea Island, United Kingdom, marked the beginning. In 1908, he published “Scouting for Boys,” which became an instant hit and has sold over 100 million copies. The movement expanded globally, with translations of the book and the establishment of Girl Guides and Cub Scouts. During the world wars, Scouting continued to flourish, even in secret in occupied countries, where Scouts played vital roles in resistance movements.
