Last Saturday was inaugurated the Baden-Powell Square (located at Parque Alameda), in honor of the founder of Scout Movement. It has also installed this stone monument where you can read "Scouts of Spain, building a better world". Besides you can see a fleur-de-lis, which is the main element in the emblem of most Scouting organizations, representing a major theme in Scouting: the outdoors and wilderness. Baden-Powell chose it based on the ancient cartographers symbol used to mark the north, which meant that scouts must guide theis lives by a good course.

ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting choice for a B post from Spain!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that scouting existed outside of Great Britain and North America.

ReplyDeleteIt's good that you told something about Baden Powell. Everywhere in the world is scouting. I still remember that there were jamborees.
