There is a casting located on the Buffalo Lawn AT Gilwell Park International Training Centre. It is a cast, moulded in bronze, of the footprint of Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell when he visited Hungary in 1928, as Chief Scout of the World. Several copies of this casting exist. I'd like to create a data-base of these castings so that Brother Scouts throughout the world may be able to take a small part of B-P to their own Districts and Councils. Please reply with information about copies of this casting.

The Booklet "Footsteps of the Founder" compiled by Mario Sica ISBN 88-8054-514-0 contains several quotations of B-P on the subject of RELIGION.

Perhaps it should be. If Wood Badge remained as we knew it it would be stuck in the 20th century. I'm a Eagle from Course 305, way back when Wood Badge courses had 3 digit numbers. (1967) One of my rememberances from this course is one member recalling a meeting with a Scout Master from India. Their conversation turned to the subject of becoming a Scout Master. The Indian gentleman described a course similar to Wood Badge which was a requirement for becoming a Scout Master in India. He then asked the US leader what were the requirements in the US. The US leader responded "Say Yes". Perhaps the introducton of Wood Badge earler in the leader's life will be good for the program. I've been back to Gillwell
