Baden Baden-Powell

Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell, FS, FRAS, FRMetS (22 May 1860–3 October 1937) was the youngest son of Baden Powell, and the brother of Robert Baden-Powell, Warington Baden-Powell, George Baden-Powell, and Agnes Baden-Powell. He was also the uncle of Peter Baden-Powell, 2nd Baron Baden-Powell and Betty Clay, and the great-uncle of Robert Baden-Powell, 3rd Baron Baden-Powell and Michael Baden-Powell.

Baden-Powell was a military aviation pioneer and a Fellow and later President of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He was one of the first to see the use of aviation in a military context. He built his first balloons and planes together with his sister Agnes.

He contributed to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition entry on 'kite-flying'.

Scouting
Baden-Powell was the first who brought flying-based activities into Scouting, in the form of kite and model aeroplane building. He can be considered the founder of Air Scouting even though he thought it was hardly feasible to have special 'Air Scouts'.

Baden-Powell was President and later District Commissioner of a North London District, was District Commissioner of Sevenoaks District, Kent between 1918 and 1935, and was Headquarters Commissioner for Aviation from 1923, until his death in 1937.
