The Scouting movement traces its origins to 1907, when Lord Robert Baden-Powell—a decorated soldier, accomplished artist, and progressive thinker—hosted an experimental camp on England’s Brownsea Island in Dorset. Emphasizing self-reliance and practical skills through outdoor pursuits, his vision crystallized into the global Scouting ethos. The movement’s iconic motto, “Be Prepared,” is prominently featured on the commemorative 50p coin honouring its legacy.
