ONAIROBI. Kenya Colony. Jan.
8-(R-Lord Baden-Powell. 83,
a veteran soldier who spent the
last 80 years Of his life working
for peace as founder of the Boy
Scout movement, died today at
his home in Nyeri, Kenya Col
ony.
He had been in precarious
health since last November,
when he suffered series of Sc
we're heart tttacks.
A lineal descendant of the
early American settler, John
Smith, Lord Baden-Powell had
visited the United States on nu-
merous occasions-the last time
in April, 1897, when he deliv-
cred a radio address to the Boy
Scouts of the world from San
Francisco.
He was q guest of President
Roosevelt at the White House in
July, 1885, while in Washing
ton to inspect the site for the
first national jamboree Of the
Boy Scouts of America.
Lord Baden-Powell founded
the Boy Scouts in 1910, follow
ing retirement from the British
army. to promote good citizen
ship in the rising generation"
and to further peace through
the advancement of information
al understanding.
He had resided in Nyeri
since 1887, when "a tired heart"
forced him to abandon his active
life in London.
At the time Of his departure
for Nyeri, he told friends:
1--WE had a long innings-Pd
rather die in Africa where my
heart is than anywhere"
Baden-Powell, a veteran SOL
der and a. retired Lieutenant
general, had served with the
British armed forces in Africa
during the Boer war and partici-
pated in the famous defense Of
Mafeking.
His home in Nyeri, where he
spent his last days, was q bunga-
low on the slopes Of Mount
Kenya, where he was able to
live much in the open air-a
practice which he had long rec
commanded as the secret Of good
health.
He underwent two serious
operations in London in 1884,
but hisskvieoroeas, <epnstitut1en
speeded his recovery despite his
n years.
In 1887, before his departure
for Africa, Lord Baden-P Powell
was on the coronation honors
list, receiving the Order Of
Merit from the new-crowned
King George vi.
During the same year, he was
awarded the Waterloo Peace
Prize of $4,000 pounds (then
about $10,000) for extraordi-
nary services in promoting
international underst q n d ! n &
through his Boy Scout work.
The prize was awarded by the
Carnegie Foundation from a
fund established by the late M.
Waterler, a Netherlands resi-
dent.
In August, 1897, he travelled
to Vogelenzang, the Neither.
lands, to preside over the fifth
world Scout jamboree, which at
tracted some $4,000 Boy Scouts
from 81 nations.
One of his last public utter
ances was q message issued last
June from his Kenya Colony
home to British Boy Scouts
calling for still further effort"
to help win the war.
"You have done grand work
behind the scenes already" he
said, "but as the fighting has
grown more desperate 1t calls
for still further effort from
you.
$50 with tails up and sleeves
up, 60 to it in every way you
can to help win the war"
Although known best for his
work with the Boy Scouts,
Baden Powell also founded the
Girl Scouts, of which his widow
is the British head.
