BP’s Hat!

If you want a piece of really special Scouting memorabilia, tomorrow you have the chance to buy, at auction, Baden Powell’s Scout hat!

According to an article on the BBC, Gilwell sold the hat some time ago and now its owner wishes to sell it on. Of course this is a great opportunity for the collector of Scouting memorabilia, but it does beg the question ‘WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??????????’. Why on earth would they sell off one of the most recognisable symbols of Scouting? The SA really ought to buy it back!

It will be interesting to see where it ends up.
