Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell (seems like everybody back then liked long names), was a lieutenant-general in the British Army. He was also the founder of the Scout Movement!
And not only that; this man also worked as an intelligence officer for the Mediterranean for the Director of Military Intelligence, in other words, HE WAS A SPY!
He would pretend to be a stupid and absentminded tourist. He would constantly travelled disguised as a butterfly collector, which allowed him to incorporate plans of military installations into his drawings of butterfly wings.
It’s hard to believe that the man who founded the scout movement was also a spy, however this only comes to show how great of a lieutenant and leader he was.So next time you hear a little boy/girl scout knocking on your door trying to sell you some cookies, you better buy them some cookies in honor to this great man!
