B-P's Grave Site

.

.Many thanks to Mike Burgoyne of 6th Chilliwack for providing us with these photos from his collection.  While working in Nairobi, Kenya in 1996, Mike made a "pilgrimage" to the grave site of Lord Baden-Powell and Olave Baden-Powell, located in Nyeri, Kenya.  Although the church and graveyard are quite run-down, the grave itself is meticulously maintained by the local Scout Troop.  Mike signed his name in the guest book and, of course, made the required donation to help the Troop keep up the memorial.
