By reviewing the name of the Baden-Powell Award, Scouts Australia is grappling with its colonial past

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, November 8, 2023

Scouts Australia is considering changing the name of its most prestigious youth award, the Baden-Powell Scout Award.

Key Points: 
  • Scouts Australia is considering changing the name of its most prestigious youth award, the Baden-Powell Scout Award.
  • For others, his role in creating the largest youth movement in history is overshadowed by allegations of colonial war crimes.

Adapting to changing social values

  • Baden-Powell’s handbook, Scouting for Boys, is the fourth best-selling book of the 20th century.
  • Baden-Powell’s Scouting philosophy emphasised social responsibility and outdoor skills.
  • Scouting has endured for over a century, in part because of its willingness to adapt to changing social values.

But back to Baden-Powell

  • In 2020, amid Black Lives Matter demonstrations, a statue of Baden-Powell in England appeared on a “Topple the Racists” hit list.
  • Yet, the statue was defended by local Scouts, and a petition against its removal received over 40,500 signatures.
  • Before Scouts, Baden-Powell was already a hero of the British Empire for his efforts during the South African War.
  • Globally, Scouts has recognised this, with the Chief Scout of the UK, Bear Grylls, admitting Baden-Powell’s “failings”.

An extended process of public reckoning

  • The case to replace obviously racist place names can be uncontroversial, provided consultation takes place with Traditional Owners.
  • In recent years, Queensland has revoked certain racist place names, while Tasmania has renamed several places that previously commemorated colonial violence.
  • Even Macquarie University is facing calls to recognise his ambiguous legacy, rather than promoting him.
  • This is likely to be the start of an extended process of public reckoning.
  • This may extend from relatively unknown statues, or place names, to big businesses and institutions with connections to questionable legacies.
