  • Summary

  • By all accounts, Robert Baden-Powell was an extraordinary man. He lived many lives; from his time as a spy to the Victorian hero of the Boer War, and finally as the founder of the international Scouts movement. However, his detractors accuse him of having Nazi sympathies, and of committing terrible crimes in Colonial Africa. To discover the truth about Baden-Powell Steven Edginton interviews Scouting historian Tony Ransley in the latest episode of History Defended.
