Baden-Powell with US scouting pioneers. Seated at centre is the British founder of the Boy Scouts movement, Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941). At left is Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946), one of the founding pioneers of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). At right is Daniel Carter Beard (1850-1941), whose Sons of Daniel Boone (1905) merged with the BSA when that organisation was founded in 1910. Seton was Chief Scout of the BSA from 1915 to 1934. Beard was editor of the BSA magazine 'Boys' Life'. Baden-Powell was knighted in 1909, and was raised to the peerage in 1929. This photograph is from the Bain News Service.
