Variant namesPolitician and author Sir George Smyth Baden-Powell was born in Oxford, part of a large, successful, and aristocratic family. His education was interrupted by health concerns, and he travelled abroad for three years, before graduating from Balliol College, Oxford. He took a position as secretary to the governor of Victoria, and thereafter served on various commissions, as well as four terms in Parliament.
