Baden-Powell’s great grandson winds up a tour of Kenya

NAIROBI - Mr Adam Baden-Clay and his wife Nicole have been in Kenya for the past 10 months, on various missions. They for the first time visited the last resting place of their great grandparents—Robert Baden Powell and his wife Olave — in Nyeri, they informed the Kenyan Daily Nation (16 February 2009). During their stay, they also got to visit the Africa Regional office (ARO) of Scouting and interacted with staff members.

They have been conducting mentorship programmes for the youth. Their visit coincided with preparations for the 13th World Scout Moot, to be hosted by Kenya in July 2010.
The Baden-Clays also had come to learn more about the Extension Scout Programme, a project of the Kenya Scouts Association.

Before leaving for Australia, the couple intends to participate in this year’s Founder’s Day on 22 February 2009 in Nyeri, Kenya.
