You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell''', ((postnominals|country=GBR|FRAS|FRMetS|FRGS|size=100)) (22 May 1860 – 3 October 1937) was a military aviation pioneer, and President of the [[Royal Aeronautical Society]] from 1900 to 1907.<ref>[http://aerosociety.com/Assets/Docs/PAST%20PRESIDENTS.docx Past Presidents], Royal Aeronautical Society (Retrieved 17 Oct 2016).</ref>

==Family==
Baden was the youngest child of [[Baden Powell (mathematician)|Baden Powell]], and the brother of [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]], [[Warington Baden-Powell]], [[George Baden-Powell]], [[Agnes Baden-Powell]] and [[Frank Baden-Powell]]. His mother, Henrietta Grace Smyth, was the third wife of Rev. Baden Powell (the previous two having died), and was a gifted musician and artist.  Baden did not marry - his mother was quite brutal in trying to keep her sons (and her share of their incomes) to herself.<ref>"Baden-Powell" by Tim Jeal</ref>  He was god-father to, among others, his brother's daughter [[Betty Clay]] nee Baden-Powell.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.spanglefish.com/BettyClay|title=Betty Clay &#124; Home))</ref>

==Military, inventions and aviation==
Baden-Powell was commissioned a [[Lieutenant (British Army and Royal Marines)|lieutenant]] in the [[Scots Guards]] on 29 July 1882, and served with the Guards Camel Regiment in the [[Mahdist War|Nile Expedition]] (1884–85) in [[Egypt]] and [[Sudan]]. Promotion to [[Captain (BARM)|captain]] followed on 5 February 1896, and to [[Major (British Army)|major]] on 24 June 1899. He served with the 1st battalion of his regiment in [[South Africa]] during the [[Second Boer War]], and was present at the battles of [[Battle of Belmont (1899)|Belmont]] (23 November 1899), [[Battle of Modder River|Modder River]] (28 November 1899), and [[Battle of Magersfontein|Magersfontein]] (11 Dec 1899). He was in the Relief Column that in May 1900 relieved the [[siege of Mafeking]], where his [[B-P|elder brother]] was in command.<ref>Hart´s army list, 1903</ref> A month after the end of the war in late May 1902, Baden-Powell returned home with his regiment in the ''SS Tagus''.<ref>((Cite newspaper The Times |title=The Army in South Africa - Troops returning Home  |date=5 July 1902 |page=8 |issue=36812))</ref>

Baden-Powell was a military aviation pioneer and a Fellow and later President of the [[Royal Aeronautical Society]] and a Fellow of the [[Royal Geographical Society]] (elected in 1891).<ref>((cite journal|title=Second Meeting, 23rd November, 1891.

''The Birth of Military Aviation: Britain, 1903-1914''. [https://books.google.com/books?id=cbrA5NJp2JMC&dq=Kite+%22Baden+Baden-Powell%22&pg=RA1-PA185 page 185] at google books</ref><ref>"The Tatler" No. 107, 15 July 1903, page 85</ref>  He also wrote, "Ballooning as a Sport", published in 1907 by William Blackwood and Sons.<ref>[http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BALLOONING-AS-A-SPORT-Baden-Powell-Major-B-/121056070971?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c2f810d3b ''Ballooning as a Sport''], for sale on eBay UK.</ref>

He built his first balloons and aircraft with his elder sister Agnes.

He invented a man-carrying kite system which he called the ''Levitor''.<ref>Pelham, D.; ''The Penguin Book of Kites'', Penguin 1976</ref> He also developed a collapsible [[military bicycle]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/9570479 |title=MAJOR BADEN-POWELL'S COLLAPSIBLE MILITARY BICYCLE |date=July 24, 1901 |website=Trove.NLA.Gov |publisher=TROVE |access-date=December 4, 2022))</ref>

He obtained one of the first British patents for a television system, "An electrical method of reproducing distant scenes visually", published 19 April 1921 (GB161706).<ref>"L'impact de la roue à miroirs, 1910-1920", Site "Histoire de la télévision", https://www.histv.net/impact-de-la-roue-a-miroir-1920-194</ref>

He contributed to the [[Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition]] entry on 'kite-flying'.<ref>((Cite EB1911|wstitle= Kite-flying |volume= 16 |last1= Breck |first1= Edward |last2= Dines |first2= William Henry |author2-link= William Henry Dines |last3= Baden-Powell |first3= Baden Fletcher Smyth |author3-link= Baden Baden-Powell | pages = 838&ndash;839 ))</ref>

He wrote "In savage isles and settled lands. Malaysia, Australasia and Polynesia, 1888-1891", published in 1892 by R.Bentley and Son, London.<ref>Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell. 1892.
[https://archive.org/details/insavageislesan03badegoog Malaysia, Australasia and Polynesia, 1888-1891]. At archive.org.)</ref> Among others, Baden-Powell recounts in his book a visit to [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] (now [[Jakarta]]), where he was a guest at the dinner party hosted by a leading local magnate, [[Khouw Yauw Kie|Khouw Yauw Kie, ''Kapitein der Chinezen'']].<ref name="Baden-Powell (1892)">((cite book|last1=Baden-Powell|first1=Baden Fletcher Smyth|title=In savage isles and settled lands : Malaysia, Australasia and Polynesia, 1888-1891|date=1892|publisher=Bentley|location=London|url=https://archive.org/details/insavageislesan00badegoog|quote=Khouw.|accessdate=9 August 2017|language=en))</ref>

==Scouting==
Baden-Powell was the first who brought flying-based activities into [[Scouting]]<ref name=scoutguide/> in the form of kite and model aeroplane building. He can be considered the founder of [[Air Scouting]]<ref name=scoutguide>[http://scoutguidehistoricalsociety.com/airscouts.htm The Early History of Air Scouting] at scoutguidehistoricalsociety.com</ref> even though he thought it was hardly feasible to have special 'Air Scouts'.<ref>(Baden Baden-Powell in Scouter July, 1932) "...it has been suggested that Air Scouts should be organised in the same way as Sea Scouts. Though the air is 'ever with us', access to aerodromes is not common and though Sea Scouts can mess about 'in any old boat', a Scout is unlikely to be able to get access to an aeroplane, and even if he did he would not be able to fly it. ...it seems hardly feasible to have special 'Air Scouts', yet a great deal may be accomplished by troops specialising in air-work... I shall always be pleased to give what advice I can."</ref>

Baden-Powell was President and later District Commissioner of a North London District, was District Commissioner of Sevenoaks District, Kent between 1918 and 1935, and was Headquarters Commissioner for Aviation from 1923, until his death in 1937.
