Gone Home: Lord Michael Baden-Powell of Gilwell

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the loss of Lord Michael Baden-Powell.

Michael's unwavering dedication to Scouting was evident in his deep passion for attending Scouting events and engaging directly with Scout Groups during Section nights or special occasions. He believed that by immersing himself at the grassroots level, he could make the most meaningful impact on the movement he believed in.

Michael’s love for Scouting radiated brightly through his infectious smile and the sparkle in his eyes. His genuine joy for the Scouting experience touched the hearts of Scouts around the globe, and his absence will be keenly felt by all members of the Scouting community.

During this time, our thoughts and sympathies extend to Lord Baden-Powell's beloved wife, Joan, and their family. Their loss is immeasurable, and we stand united in offering our support and comfort during this difficult period.

For further details about Lord Michael Baden-Powell's remarkable life and his invaluable contributions to the Scouting movement, we invite you to visit our website, where his legacy will be honoured and celebrated.

May Lord Michael Baden-Powell's spirit continue to inspire and guide us as we carry forth his family's vision of Scouting, instilling values, and empowering young individuals to become responsible and capable members of society.

Exciting news

🏡It’s great to hear that the Harkaway Campsite’s renovations are moving and close to being completed!

✅This renovation, which I was able to secure $50,000 of federal funding towards, will see a new and improved roof, with environmentally-friendly solar panels, a new floor, improvements to the driveway and a brand new modern kitchen!

✅This will be fantastic for scouts statewide, young people, schools and groups who use the campsite for it’s various functions.

🙏Big thanks to Helen Pinkstone, Kevin Dodsworth, Alan and the entire team at the Harkaway Scout Camp for their tireless dedication to this project and to the campsite in general. This space is in great hands 🙌

I cannot wait to see the finished product early next year!
