Be Prepared
Written By Andy
Rashleigh
With Ian McKellen
as Robert Baden-Powell
One of the
key figures of the early twentieth century, Robert Baden-Powell, founder of
the Scout movement, looks back upon a life embodying the spirit of Imperial
adventure. From the balcony of his home he regrets, he gives thanks, he
wonders if he has at last found something like harmony and peace.
