This was the name given to the founder of the scout movement, the largest youth movement in the world. This is his amazing and adventurous life story. Walter Hansen wrote this book for scouts and those who want to become scouts. And of course also for adults who have fond memories of their scouting days and for all readers who would like to find out more about Lord Baden-Powell and the scout movement. Walter Hansen, himself a scout, studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, was a leading editor of major daily newspapers and now lives as a freelance writer in Munich. His books have been translated into many languages and have been awarded prizes.
