Our heritage collection

The Heritage Collection contains over 250,000 objects, photographs and records which have been kindly donated to us over the last 100 years.

The Collection is stored and managed from Gilwell Park, Chingford. There are three full time members of staff:

• Head of Heritage Service
• Heritage Collections Coordinator
• Heritage Research Coordinator

The Heritage Service staff and volunteers are working hard to catalogue the Collection, with the eventual aim of making the catalogue available online.

We’ve now got information online about the following areas:

• The Baden-Powell collection
• Art collection
• Badges
• Awards and medals
