Interesting documentary but Mafeking was a Boer / Afrikaner town even though the British forces were besieged there in the Boer war. So were the first Boy Scouts Boer boys?

My research indicates that Mafeking was a British railway town established outside the existing Barolong town of Mafikeng. My candidate for the first Boy scout would be a young Barolong boy called Phalaetsile whose adventures are described in Sol Plaatje's Mafeking Diary

The reporter is being slightly disengenious when talking about the statue outside Baden Powell House in London. In actual fact the Scout Association SOLD Baden Powell House to a hotel chain and the statue was moved to Gilwell park, the world centre of Scouting.

Scouting is a movement. A lot of national associations have acted in that way and revalued their activities to match it. Only those being stuck in traditional attitudes will go down, being targeted by the woke critics. Anyone researching Baden Powell thoroughly will rather come across a very critical person than someone flowing with the stream. Let's face it: Nobody of that era had values matching 21st Century ideals. Get used to that.
