On February 22, 1857 Robert Baden-Powell was born and he eventually became the founder of the Scouts program; so the Scouts celebrate today as Founders' Day.
I was a scout once upon a time with my kerchief and woggle.. can't remember how many badges I earned.
I do remember however the cloning of a sheep in Scotland that we knew as Dolly.
Dolly was the first mammal cloned and that was back in July of 1996, but the scientists didn't announce the success until this day in 1997.
Interesting fact, they named Dolly after Dolly Parton because the cell used for the cloning was from the mammary gland.
Another first was oddly Robert II - who on this day became King of Scotland, and was the first of the Stuart dynasty.
He was King in Scotland from this day in 1371 until he died in 1390. He was grandson to the famous Robert the Bruce (his mom was Robert the Bruce's daughter).
Stuff to think about this February 22... a day that the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts use as World Thinking Day
The theme for 2022: Our World, Our Equal Future.
