Plaza Robert Baden Powell, San Salvador

Plaza Robert Baden Powell is a meaningful urban space that honors Lord Robert Baden‑Powell, the British army officer who founded the global Scout Movement. Though compact, the plaza is centered around a bust of Baden‑Powell-wearing his hat-along with inscriptions and the Scouting emblem and a cross, set against a small protective wall.

The inscriptions around the bust reference Baden‑Powell’s impactful writings, including Aids to Scouting, which influenced generations of youth by encouraging self-reliance, patriotism, and outdoor skills. His role in founding both the Boy Scouts and later the Girl Scouts is subtly celebrated here as a call to character and community across borders.
