Founders Day

So what is Scout Guide Week all about?

By: Xavier Dalcourt, Scouts Canada Youth Spokesperson

Scout Guide week is a sort of Scouting holiday. A week when Scouts and Guides, from Beavers to Rover and Sparks to Rangers, get together and celebrate the birthday of our founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell (1857 – 1941) and his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell (1889 – 1977). It’s a week when church services are held, banquets are consumed, and the Scouting and Guiding communities celebrate the births of their founders.”
