The 22nd of February is an important day for Scouts worldwide. On this day, they celebrate Lord Baden–Powell's
(and Lady Olave's - they shared a birthday!) birthday also known as Founders Day and also remember that the
Scout Movement was founded by Lord Baden-Powell over one hundred years ago.
The purpose of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual development of
young people so that they take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens, and as members of their
local, national and international communities.
