Founder's Day is a great day to celebrate Guiding and Scouting
Happy Founder’s Day!
Worldwide in nearly all Scout associations, Founders' Day is celebrated
on February 22, the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron
Baden-Powell (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting, and coincidentally
also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889).
22 February, the joint birthday of Robert and Olave Baden-Powell,
continues to be marked as Founder's Day by Scouts and World Thinking Day
by Guides to remember and celebrate the work of the Chief Scout and
Chief Guide of the World.
As Lord Robert Baden-Powell once said, “the real way to gain happiness
is to give it to others.” On behalf of World Scouting, we wish you all a
happy Founder's Day!

This is a wood burning project just finished on feb. 22, 2021 Birth Day
of Scouting founder Robet baden powell. Pyrography or pyrogravure is the
free handed art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks
resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a
poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.
A large range of tones and shades can be achieved. Varying the type of
tip used, the temperature, or the way the iron is applied to the
material all create different effects. After the design is burned in,
wooden objects are often coloured. Light-coloured hardwoods such as
sycamore, basswood, beech and birch are most commonly used, as their
fine grain is not obtrusive. However, other woods, such as maple, pine
or oak, are also used.
Pyrography is also applied to leather items,
using the same hot-iron technique. Leather lends itself to bold designs,
and also allows very subtle shading to be achieved. Specialist
vegetable-tanned leather must be used for pyrography (as modern tanning
methods leave chemicals in the leather which are toxic when burned),
typically in light colours for good contrast.
Pyrography is also popular among gourd crafters and artists, where
designs are burned onto the exterior of a dried hard-shell gourd.

Scouting's founder, Robert Baden-Powell, was a talented artist and
enjoyed sketching and painting throughout his life. He supplied all the
original drawings for his bestselling book 'Scouting for Boys' which
provided inspiration for so many. Baden-Powell authored the first
editions of the seminal work Scouting for Boys, which was an inspiration
for the Scout Movement.
Scouting’s founder, Robert Baden-Powell, was a talented artist and
enjoyed sketching and painting throughout his life. He supplied all the
original drawings for his bestselling book ‘Scouting for Boys’ which
provided inspiration for so many. This pack contains a selection of the
artwork held in The Scouts Heritage Collection. It sphows his enjoyment
for capturing his environment whether it was whilst travelling, in the
Army or in his role as Chief Scout. His sketches show a sense of humour
and demonstrate his talent for engaging his audience in the subject.
Baden-Powell's father often sketched caricatures of those present at
meetings, while his maternal grandmother was also artistic. Baden-Powell
painted or sketched almost every day of his life. Most of his works
have a humorous or informative character. His books are scattered with
his pen-and-ink sketches, frequently whimsical. He did a large unknown
number of pen-and-ink sketches; he always travelled with a sketchpad
that he used frequently for pencil sketches and "cartoons" for later
water-colour paintings. He also created a few sculptures. There is no
catalogue of his works, many of which appear in his books, and twelve
paintings hang in the British Scout Headquarters at Gilwell Park. In
1911 and 1912, he had fishing holidays in Norway.
22 February, we recall our Scouting adventures, meet our Scouting
friends, proudly wear our scarves and celebrate the great diversity of
our worldwide Movement. Today is also a time for us to renew our Scout
Promise and our commitment to creating a better world.
We should be in no doubt that Baden-Powell would be very proud of us. We have been Growing Together for
more than 111 years and, today, reach more than 50 million young people
worldwide with an ambition to double that number by 2023. We certainly
have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
The Founder believed Scouting helps young people by providing
opportunities for them to look wide, beyond their own needs, to the
wider needs of humanity itself. His thoughts are still relevant today.
In a world facing burning challenges such as armed conflict, poverty,
hunger, climate change and gender inequality, Scouting continues to
provide a constructive response by empowering young people to actively
contribute in finding solutions to these global challenges by taking
action locally.
Scouts worldwide contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development
Goals through the simplest of actions: from preventing hunger through
growing vegetable gardens, to alleviating street children from poverty
through providing vocational training, to promoting gender equality and
pledging support to the UN Women HeForShe campaign.
As we share this special day with our friends in Girl Guiding and
Girl Scouting who are marking World Thinking Day, let us recommit to
working together because by doing so, we can be a stronger force for
young women and men everywhere.
Remember, you don’t have to do something big. Great things can start
from the humblest of beginnings – just like our remarkable worldwide
Movement.
On behalf of World Scouting I wish you all a happy Founder’s Day.
