What religion was Robert Baden Powell?
Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of scouting, was the son of an Anglican priest and mathematics professor and a member of the Church of England.

Initially his writing specified Christianity but as the world scouting movement spread across the globe he broadened his language to include other religions (in scouting - not necessarily his personal views).

It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding." - Religion and the Boy Scout and Girl Guides Movement-- an address, 1926.
