• 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.
