As the British empire began to evaporate, the fervent patriot and marketing genius Baden-Powell sought to build a "character factory" and in the process forged the largest youth movement in history. This well-organized site contains numerous links to biographical essays, interviews, and extended excerpts from his value-laden writings. Author: Orans, Lewis P.
