Baden-Powell’s Tombstone

Gone Home When Baden-Powell died in 1941, the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey offered a place for him between the graves of the Unknown Warrior and David Livingstone. After careful consideration, the family declined this great honor as not conforming to B-P's expressed wishes. In place of a grave in Westminster Abbey, a memorial reading, "Give thanks for ROBERT BADEN-POWELL 1857-1941 Chief Scout of the World, OLAVE BADEN-POWELL 1889-1977 World Chief Guide” was placed in the nave of the Abbey and is flanked by the flags of the Scouts and Guides. B-P was buried in the Africa he loved with full military honors accorded to his rank of Lieutenant-General and with a guard of Boy Scouts European, African, and Asian. Today, his grave in the tiny cemetery of Nyeri, Kenya, is marked by a simple stone that carries his name and the Boy Scout trail sign for "I have gone home."
