The true way to be happy is the others to make happy. It tries to leave better this world some of as you have found him and, when your moment arrives for dying, you can die happy in to feel that in every case you have not wasted your time but you have done better than yours. »

Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell (pronounced /'beɪdən 'pəʊəl/) OM, GCMG, GCVO, KCB (22 February 1857 – 8 January 1941), also known as B-P, was a lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, and founder of the Scout Movement.

After having been educated at Charterhouse School, Baden-Powell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. In 1899, during the Second Boer War in South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the city in the Siege of Mafeking. Several of his military books, written for military reconnaissance and scout training in his African years, were also read by boys. Based on those earlier books, he wrote Scouting for Boys, published in 1908 by Pearson, for youth readership. During writing, he tested his ideas through a camping trip on Brownsea Island that began on 1 August 1907, which is now seen as the beginning of Scouting.

After his marriage with Olave St Clair Soames, Baden-Powell, his sister Agnes Baden-Powell and notably his wife actively gave guidance to the Scouting Movement and the Girl Guides Movement. Baden-Powell lived his last years in Nyeri, Kenya, where he died in 1941.

« Il modo vero di essere felici è rendere felici gli altri. Prova a lasciare questo mondo un po' meglio di come l'hai trovato e, quando arriva il tuo momento per morire, tu puoi morire felice nel sentire che in ogni caso non hai perso il tuo tempo ma hai fatto del tuo meglio. »
(dal Testamento di Robert Baden-Powell)
Baden-Powell
Sir Robert Baden-Powell, titolo completo Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Lord Baden-Powell, Primo Barone Baden-Powell di Gilwell ['beɪdʌn 'pəʊəl] (Londra, 22 febbraio 1857 – Nyeri, 8 gennaio 1941), è stato un militare e scrittore inglese, noto soprattutto per essere stato il fondatore, nel 1907, dei movimenti mondiali dello scautismo e del guidismo.

Per i meriti riconosciutigli in ordine alla fondazione del movimento scout, gli furono conferiti i titoli di Baronetto e di Lord. Tutti gli scout del mondo lo chiamano più semplicemente B.-P. (come soleva abbreviare la sua firma), e con questo nome, per brevità, è indicato nel prosieguo.
