Baden-Powell Statue Poole Quay

Date: 11th Jun 2020 Author: County Office

We are aware that BCP Council has made the decision to place the Baden-Powell statue on Poole Quay into safe storage.

As the next steps are considered we must continue to live by our Scouting Values during these difficult times.

Please do not make contact with local press or media. All enquiries should go through our County Media Manager at this email: mediamanager@dorsetscouts.org.uk

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
