Scouting, Speaking & The Sound of Scots

"In my final incarnation as a scouter, for 30 years I have utilized my acting talents to develop a Lord Robert Baden-Powell persona. Wearing period-authentic clothing and utilizing historic speech, I strive to bring the 'Chief Scout of the World' to life based on his fundamental perceptions about the character of youth." - Walker Chandler

"To help with weeping,

compliment the brave,

inspire the feet to dancing,

paint the landscape with sound...

bring joy to crowded places."
