By reviewing the name of the Baden-Powell Award, Scouts Australia is grappling with its colonial past

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, November 8, 2023

Scouts Australia is considering changing the name of its most prestigious youth award, the Baden-Powell Scout Award.

Key Points: 
  • Scouts Australia is considering changing the name of its most prestigious youth award, the Baden-Powell Scout Award.
  • For others, his role in creating the largest youth movement in history is overshadowed by allegations of colonial war crimes.

Adapting to changing social values

  • Baden-Powell’s handbook, Scouting for Boys, is the fourth best-selling book of the 20th century.
  • Baden-Powell’s Scouting philosophy emphasised social responsibility and outdoor skills.
  • Scouting has endured for over a century, in part because of its willingness to adapt to changing social values.

But back to Baden-Powell

  • In 2020, amid Black Lives Matter demonstrations, a statue of Baden-Powell in England appeared on a “Topple the Racists” hit list.
  • Yet, the statue was defended by local Scouts, and a petition against its removal received over 40,500 signatures.
  • Before Scouts, Baden-Powell was already a hero of the British Empire for his efforts during the South African War.
  • Globally, Scouts has recognised this, with the Chief Scout of the UK, Bear Grylls, admitting Baden-Powell’s “failings”.

An extended process of public reckoning

  • The case to replace obviously racist place names can be uncontroversial, provided consultation takes place with Traditional Owners.
  • In recent years, Queensland has revoked certain racist place names, while Tasmania has renamed several places that previously commemorated colonial violence.
  • Even Macquarie University is facing calls to recognise his ambiguous legacy, rather than promoting him.
  • This is likely to be the start of an extended process of public reckoning.
  • This may extend from relatively unknown statues, or place names, to big businesses and institutions with connections to questionable legacies.

STANADYNE ELECTRIFIED GDI FUEL PUMP MODULE MAKES INDUSTRY DEBUT

Monday, September 12, 2022

DETROIT, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stanadyne, a leading global fuel and air management systems supplier, has developed an electrically driven gasoline direct injection (GDI) fuel pump as part of its approach to fuel delivery system technology based on electrification. Called the "E-Pump Module," it is powered by 24- and 48-volt vehicle architectures and is decoupled from the internal combustion engine drivetrain. This enables the fuel flow and pressure to be electrically controlled to optimize and reduce fuel consumption, as the pump speed is now independent of engine revolutions per minute.
