This year, on 1 August, the Scout Movement will celebrate its 100th birthday. It all began with one man's vision in the summer of 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell organised an experimental camp on Brownsea Island in Dorset. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Scout Movement the Royal Mint has designed a wonderful limited-edition commemorative fifty pence coin for 2007.

Beautiful reverse design
Designed by Royal Mint engraver Kerry Jones, the coin depicts the familiar fleur-de-lys emblem, embossed on a representation of the globe, along with the famous Scout motto 'Be prepared'.
