Baden Powel -His Story

Baden-Powell or B-P was born on
the 22 February 1857.His father
was a professor at Oxford
University. His father died when
he was 3 years old and his mother
devoted herself to bringing up a
rather large family of 10. Baden
Powell and his brothers were
encouraged by their mother to make their own fun. They
learned about the outdoors, built boats and sailed them and
went on long journeys learning to look after themselves.

Baden-Powell attended Charterhouse School during which
time he took part in a number of activities including acting,
singing and cadet corps and art. In the woods near the
school known as "The Copse" he studied, stalked and
tracked animals, birds and his friends and teachers.

Baden-Powell was encouraged to sit Army Exams, he
surprised everyone by gaining 2nd place out of 700
candidates, as a result was commissioned as a sub-
lieutenant in the 13th Hussars. He sailed to join his regiment
in Lucknow, India, where he took courses in surveying and
reconnaissance.
