From the BBC:
Boy Scout founder Lord Baden-Powell ‘executed PoW’
Baden-Powell founded the Scouting movement in 1907
Documents suggesting that Boy Scout founder Lord Baden-Powell illegally executed a prisoner-of-war have been sold for £3,740.
Papers relating to the Second Matabele War in 1896 say Baden-Powell, then a Colonel in the British Army, ordered the shooting of an African chief.
The chief, Uwini, had been promised his life would be spared if he surrendered.
