B is for Baden-Powell, Robert

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.
Let´s enjoy lots of interesting B ideas at ABC Wednesday!

    1. It's good that you told something about Baden Powell. Everywhere in the world is scouting. I still remember that there were jamborees.
      On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team we thank you for your participation!
