British Scout Association
From: William Hillcourt, and Olave Baden-Powell,
Baden-Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero, 1964

William Hillcourt describes the scene:

"On 29 July, 1907, Bill Harvey, one of the local boatmen, was waiting at the Customhouse Steps in Poole to take Baden-Powell, his nephew, and some of the boys from London out to Brownsea. They boarded his motor boat Hyacinth and set out on the two-mile crossing to the island. Bill Harvey landed the party on Seymour;s Pier on Brownsea and returned to Poole, while Baden-Powell and the boys made their way the half mile along the island shore to the camp site."
