Statues and Monuments: Robert Baden-Powell

Pete, ,

On my recent trip to Dorset I visited Brownsea Island. It is probably most famous for the camp held in 1907 by Lord Robert Baden-Powell which marked the beginning of the scout movement.

I found this statue on the quayside at Poole from which the boats to Brownsea Island depart. It was installed here in 2008.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
