En Av De Første Jentegruppene Under Patruljearbeid. Formelt Ble Girl Guide Assosiation Etablert I 1915 Med Agnes Baden-Powell Som Første President En av de første jentegruppene under patruljearbeid. Formelt ble Girl Guide Assosiation etablert i 1915 med Agnes Baden-Powell som første president. 41 Fra B.-P`s besøk i Sverige og Norge i 1911. Dette er fra talen i Stockholm. Han reiste deretter til Norge hvor han hadde samtaler med lederne av de to norske speiderguttforbundene, Norske Gutters Speiderforbund og Norsk Speiderguttforbund.Det var NSF som hadde oppfattet ideen hans best synes B.-P. og det andre forbundet gikk dermed inn i NSF. Han kon til Oslo 7. August møtte vennen George Greaves. De tok sammen ettermiddagstoget til Atnaosen. Her overnattet de i ei 300 år gammel seterbu. De fisket og jaktet i Solliaområdet bl.a. med en lokal kar som het Øvergaard og drev pensjonat på Atnabru. Historien forteller at B-P. mistet en flott kikkert under en tur der oppe. Han satte i ettertid opp en dusør på Kr.200 til den som fant den. Ble ikke funnet. Men, en kar som het Anton Finstad skal etter bygdesladder ha hatt en fin kikkert liggende… 31.august var de tilbake i Oslo hvor ca.800 speidergutter sto parade.Det var ved hjemkomst han lovet sin nevø Donald en tur til dette området i 1912. 42 Akvarell av leirplass ”My house in the woods” tegnet under norgesbesøkene i 1911 eller 1912. 43 B.-P. og Olave snakker sammen om bord på Arcadian. Et sjeldent bilde! Nasjonalhelten på 55 år og en meget ung dame – ble nok lagt merke til! Hennes fulle navn: Olave St. Clair Soames. F.22/2-1889 – 1977. Foreldre: Harold og Katarine Soames. Harold overtok etter far sin et bryggeri og drev dette sammen med en annen til det gikk godt og solgte så sin andel.Han levde på disse pengene resten av livet. Olave ble Chief Guide i 1918 og World Chief Guide i 1930. Hun besøkte i alt 111 land, hvorav en del land flere ganger. Hun var i Norge første gang i 1909 på ferie sammen med sin far. Han var facinert av de norske vikinger og derav navnet Olave St. etter Hellig Olav. Hun besøkte Norge også i 1924, 1932, 1933, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1949, 1952 og siste gang i 1965. (Som jeg vet om) 44 Forlovet Olave St.Clair Soames. Forlovelsesgaven var et halskjede med ”Thanks Badge” og forlovelsen ble inngått i løpet av våren, 1912. B-P var da på en world tour med båten R.M.S.P. Arcadian,bl.a. Amerika, mens Olave var på cruise med sin far, Harold Soames. 45 B.-P. i full paradeuniform i 1912. 46 På vei fra Atnaosen og opp dalen til Sollia og Atnabru. Veien gikk over heia ved Finstadsjøen og ut lia via setra til Finstad ned til gården Finstad. Dengang eiet av Anton Finstad. Akvarell by B.-P. 47 På veien opp kokte Donald te. Skisse fra skisseboka til B.-P. Donald var sønn til B.-P`s bror George som døde da Donald var ca 3 år gammel. B.-P. tok seg av Donald etter dette. Bl.a. var Donald tilstede ved både Brownsea Island,1907 og leiren ved Humshaugh i 1908. 48 Donald Baden Powell ble som voksen en meget anerkjent professor ved Oxford University. Donald døde i 1973. Hans sønn, Frances, donerte i 1974 10000 pund til opprettelsen av Donald Baden-Powell Quarternary Research Center for å hedre sin far. Jeg fikk kontakt med lederen der, Nick Barton, og fikk da vite at de hadde et maleri av Donald fra 1948. Han ville dòg gjerne at jeg fikk tillatelse fra svigerdatteren for å bruke det, Frances døde tidlig i 2004. Så, da måtte det brev til. Cherry syntes dette var bare trivelig hun! 49 Maleriet av Donald som henger på Oxford University. Ikke helt ulik sin onkel. 50 Akvarell fra skisseboken. Hytten som B.-P. Og Donald lå i.De hadde også overnattet på Finstadsetra som ligger vel 20 minutters gange fra gården. 51 -og slik ser hytta ut i dag. 52 Fra B-P`s skissebok etter turene i 1911 og 1912.Peisen i stua. 53 Og slik ser peisen ut i dag. 54 En av dagens eiere, Karen Troye Winther foran inngangsdøra til hytta der B.-P. og Donald overnattet.. Sprek dame på 79 som stadig er å se i stor fart på vei til Finnstad,alt ifølge naboer i Sollia. 55 Skisse fra norgesturen , antagelig 1912. 56 Bryllupsgaven fra speiderne i 1912/13, Standard.reg nr. ”BP717” Døpt av Lady Olave til ”Jim-Max”. Kostet vel 600 pund. Bryllupet sto 30.oktober 1912 57 På kjøretur i nydoningen. 58 Roland Philips ble speider i 1911 og senere Comissioner for Øst London. Kjøpte et hus i Stephny Green for gutter i slumstrøk. Har skrevet klassikeren ”Patruljesystemet” Drept i slaget ved Olivers i 1916, 26 år gammel.. Et stort slag for B.-P. og nok sterkt medvirkende til vridningen fra imperialisme mot verdensbroderskap bygget på fred og forståelse mellom mennesker. 59 Lieutenant-General Baden-Powell Frankrike 1916 B.-P. Var engasjert i hjelpearbeid under 1.verdenskrig. Skaffet hvilebrakker og lignende til soldatene. Olave var også engasjert i Frankrike. 60 H.R.H dronning Alexandra, Agnes Baden-Powell og B-P.ved Hyde Park Rally 1918.

Har ikke kunne få dette bekreftet fra flere kilder. I en liste fra dette kurset er ikke hans navn nevnt. Senere ble potter offisiell woodcarver i Gilwell Park oppnevnt av B.-P.. Har også laget Gidney cabin i Gilwell Park, stenen på Brownsea Island og statuen utenfor Baden Powell Building i London. Don døde i 2002 , 102 år gammel. 66 Instruksjon fra et kurs antagelig i 20 årene under Gilwelleika i Gilwell Park. Legg merke til at Gilwell skrives på dette tidspunkt med dobbel L. I dag skriver vi med èn L… 67 The 1. World jamboree ble avholdt i Olympia i august 1920. Ca. 50 norske deltok. Møller Gasmann deltok ikke grunnet sykdom. 68 Staben. 69 Fra Olympiahallen. Jamboreen var mer lik en oppvisning og ikke en tradisjonell leir. Det skjedde først på The 2. World Jamboree i Danmark. 70 Familien Baden-Powell utenfor Pax Hill i 1923. 71 Peter ble også en offentlig figur. Forholdet mellom B.-P. og Peter var meget anstrengt helt frem til 1939. Problemstillingen med høye forvetninger fra far som sønnen ikke har mulighet til å innfri er velkjent… 72 Bilde av Foxlease i 1920 årene.Dette var det første treningssenteret for Girl Guides. Gitt som gave av en amerikansk dame med navn . Prinsesse Mary donerte 10000 pund etter sitt bryllup og gjorde det dermed mulig for Girl Guides Ass. å akseptere gaven Lyndhurst da dette ga midler til opprustning og drift. 73 Rovering to succes kom ut i ca 1922 og var nok den boken B.-P. la mest arbeid i.

World Jamboree i Emerlunden ,Danmark. Leirledelsen besto av 3 unge danske menn som fort fikk betegnelsen De Tre Musketeer. En av dem, Ove Holm ble senere medlem i World Commity. (Se senere bilde) Norske speidere deltok også, men antallet har jeg dessverre ikke klart å få tak i. 78 Oversiktsbilde av leiren. 79 Takkekort på tenkedagen, 22. februar 1926 80 Julekort fra Pax Hill julen 1927 81 B.-P. i en spøkefull situasjon sammen med sin høyre hånd, Sir Percy Everett. Percy Everett var mannen som jobbet ved forlaget Pearson og fikk ansvaret med å gi ut ”Scouting for Boys” Han ble så fengslet av speiderideen at det førte til et livslangt engasjement innen speiderbevegelsen. Percy Everett donerte sin 6 perlersnor til Gilwell Camp Chief ca.1952 da han trakk seg tilbake fra sitt speiderarbeid. Denne snoren skulle følge funksjonen i Gilwell Park. 82 Leirmerket til The 3. World Jamboree som ble avholdt i Arrowhead Park august 1929. 83 Ca. 50 000 speidergutter deltok. Av disse ca. 550 norske.

  • The History of the Scout Wood Badge
    The set of six wood beads belonging to Robert Baden-Powell The history of the Scout Wood Badge The Scouts (UK) Heritage Service December 2018 Since September 1919 adult volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge on the completion of their leader training. The basic badge is made up of two wooden beads worn at the end of a leather lace. This iconic symbol of Scouting has become shrouded in myths and its origins and development confused. Having completed extensive research using the Scouts (UK) heritage collection we have pieced together the story. The components of the Wood Badge: The Wood Badge’s design took inspiration from a necklace brought back from Africa by Scouting’s Founder, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1888 Baden-Powell was serving with the British Army in Africa. During this period Baden-Powell visited an abandoned camp where Chief Dinizulu, a local chief had been based. In 1925 Baden-Powell recalled what he found, ’In the hut, which had been put up for Dinizulu to live in, I found among other things his necklace of wooden beads. I had in my possession a photograph of him taken a few months beforehand in which he was shown wearing this necklace round his neck and one shoulder.’1 Assuming the necklace was the same one as in the photo Baden-Powell took the necklace as a souvenir of the campaign and always referred to it as Dinizulu’s necklace. Baden- 1 How I obtained the necklace of Dinizulu, told by the Chief Scout, 1925 – the Baden-Powell papers Powell admired Dinizulu describing him as “full of resources, energy and pluck,” characteristics which he would later call upon Scouts to develop.

The camp, at which there are four patrols of five each, some belonging to the Boys’ Brigade, others sons of friends of B.-P’s, is a happy success. The Patrols wear shoulder knots of coloured wool, the Bulls green, Curlews yellow, Ravens red, and Wolves blue. The boys wear shorts, which is very unusual, and a fleur-de-lys badge.

Block Editor de la “Revista Histórica del Escultismo” Baden-Powel nos dejó en “Roverismo hacia el Exito” una descripción de su versión de un Scout modelo: EL ROVER: UN HOMBRE DE LO PROFUNDO DEL BOSQUE Al escribir estas líneas, hay acampando en mi jardín un ejemplo vivo de lo que yo espero que, en amplia escala, sea el resultado de este libro. Así lo espero, con todo mi corazón. Es un Rover Scout de unos dieciocho años, que se está adiestrando para ser un hombre. Ha hecho una larga excursión con su morral a cuestas, en el que lleva una tienda liviana, su cobija, olla para cocinar y alimentos. Porta con él su hacha y una cuerda. Yen su mano un útil bordón con una cabeza tallada, hecha por él mismo. Además de esta carga, lleva consigo algo que es todavía más importante: una sonrisa feliz dibujada en su cara tostada por el clima. Anoche durmió con un viento y frío inclementes, a pesar de que le di a escoger dormir bajo techo. Simplemente observó, con una sonrisa, que habla sido un caluroso verano, y que un poco de viento frío era un cambio que seria provechoso. Es amante riel aire libre. Cocinó sus propios alimentos y se preparó un abrigo con todos los recursos de un viejo acampador.- Hoy ha estado mostrando a nuestros Scouts locales cómo utilizar el hacha con más efectividad, y les demostró que puede ensogar” un hombre, sin fallar, con su lazo.

  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #313
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 54 No. 5 (Whole No. 313) SPECIAL CENTENARY EDITION SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2010 1 Editorial Well we got a bit better timing with the last issue and, hopefully, will do even better still with this one. It is interesting when one considers “club” publications and their timing, etc. Like most people I am a member of several clubs including, amongst others, The Great Eastern Railway Society. This is an historical society which studies the railway which built the network throughout East Anglia here in the UK. I was instrumental in founding the Society back in 1973 and it has always been one of my interests. The Society publish two magazines, both on a quarterly basis - on alternate quarters throughout the year. The people there don’t seem to get so hung up on the dates of publication because I have just received the January, 2010 issue of their Journal. I mentioned the forthcoming World Jamboree in the last issue and our attempts to share a base / stand with the International Badgers Club. We have now finally heard from one of the organisers, who has been given responsibility for an Historic Exhibition at the event, saying that we are welcome to assist but we must become members of our National Contingent for IST and apply through that. Needless to say the UK has long since selected their Contingents so we have had to reluctantly decline the invitation - but have offered assistance if there is anything particular which is needed. I will end this editorial with thanks for the small supply of new articles and a request for more.

  • Frühgeschichte See Pfadfinden3
    SPURENBLATT 01 – 07 _09 Scoutcamp Bockholm Der Anfang des Seepfadfindens Ich bin nie ein Seepfadfinder gewesen, so gehe ich behutsam voran, (oder sollte es besser heißen: paddle achtsam vorwärts?) wenn es dazu kommt Vorhersagen über moderne Entwicklungen im Seepfadfinden zu machen. Jedoch, viel darüber gelesen zu haben was es da zu lesen gilt, über das Leben B – Ps und die Geschichte unserer Bewegung, erscheint es mir, dass die Geschichte des Seepfadfindens unauflösbar mit der unserer Bewegung als ein Ganzes verbunden ist. (der Verfasser) Baden – Powells seefahrerischer Hintergrund BADEN - POWELL wuchs heran im ständigen Bewusstsein über die Verbindungen seiner Familie zur Seefahrt. Sein Großvater mütterlicherseits war Kapitän William Smyth, der aus niederem Rang kommend im Jahre 1863 Admiral wurde und auf vielen Gebieten als herausragend galt. B – Ps Vater starb als B – P gerade drei Jahre alt war, und so war es nicht ungewöhnlich, dass es B – P liebte seinen Großvater zu besuchen, der ihn mit Geschichten über das Meer verwöhnte, während sie dabei über ein imaginäres Kommandodeck schritten. B – P war veranlasst zu glauben – obgleich es nur einen geringen Beleg dafür zu geben schien, dass er mit dem in Virginia, USA berühmten Kapitän John Smith von Pocahontas verwandt sei. Ein Spiel, das auf dieser Erzählung fusste, war in der ersten Ausgabe von „Scouting for Boys“, erschienen im Jahre 1908, groß herausgebracht worden. Es gab andere Familienerzählungen die sich um Verbindungen zu Admiral Lord Nelson drehten. Wahr oder nicht, B - P wuchs auf mit der Sehnsucht zur See in seinem Blut, und so war es nicht überraschend, das sein größerer Bruder Warington, zehn Jahre älter als B – P, eine Laufbahn in der Handelsmarine anstrebte.

  • Early Scouting in New South Wales
    Early Scouting in New South Wales J.X. Coutts file notes. Transcriptions (where provided) from the original (all errors intact) are included for searchability. THE GAME OF SCOUTING It was in 1907 that Baden-Powell held an experimental camp on Brownsea to test his ideas which he incorporated in his book “Scouting for Boys”, and it was in 1908 that the book first appeared to fire the imagination of boys and unintentionally start a movement which spread in a few years to all corners of the earth. Today there are eight million Scouts in over one hundred countries of the world, and the number continues to grow. Scouting grew spontaneously. B.-P. intended “Scouting for Boys” to provide programme suggestions and material for existing boys’ organisations. But as a result of the book, boys all over the country formed themselves into Scout Patrols and chose Scoutmasters from adults of their acquaintance. In that way the Scout Movement came into being and Baden-Powell became its Chief Scout. How can we account for this phenomenal spread of the game of Scouting? What is there about it that attracts like a magnet, boys of all classes, colours, languages and religions? It is because the whole scheme of Scouting is based on the normal desires of the boy. It provides a natural outlet for his bubbling energy, which is harnessed to good purpose. To the boy, Scouting is fun; it is a great game played with his comrades, as campers, pioneers and frontiermen. The aim of Scouting is to produce better citizens. It provides opportunities for developing those qualities of character which make the good citizen – honour, self-discipline and self-reliance, sense of duty and of respect for others.

    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 58 No. 1 (Whole(Whole No. 333333)) See article bbyy TT.P..P. MMcDermottcDermo sstartingtarting ppageage 66. JANUARYY / FEBRUARYFEBRUARY 20120144 1 Editorial I had a letter from one of our members the other week which said that he always enjoyed reading my little quips in the Editorial. This was quite a surprise because its the last thing that I do and I keep it really so that I can add any last minute information on events or the Club. Scouting wise I am still at loggerheads with the new DC and we are finally going to have a face to face meeting on 27th February to sort things out. So by the time you get the next Bulletin I might no longer be a member of the Movement. I must admit that the Scout Association’s Vision 2018 leaves me a bit perplexed - by then we are supposed to be a “Youth lead Organisation supported by Adults” - and the current crop of “managers” at Gilwell don’t seem to realise that since 1908 this has been tried on numerous occasions and failed every time. Still we must wait and see what happens. Hopefully another interesting Bulletin for you with another one of Peter’s articles on the Ukrainian Scouts (which is particularly pertinent at the time of writing because of the problems in that country - a place I was privileged to visit on holiday in 2012).
