Baden-Powell museum – Nyeri , Kenya , near Mount Kenya . Baden-Powell's Paxtu cottage, now a small museum, stands on the grounds of the Outspan Hotel . For years it served as a WAGGGS World Center.
Scout Information Centre – Baden Powell's Gravesite, Nyeri , Kenya , near Mount Kenya . This is a fairly modern build which contains a small shop, a board showing badges (many collected during the 2010 World Scout Moot in Kenya) and various neckers (scarfs) from around the World. There are plans to develop it in to a fully fledged museum outlining the history of the association. Talks were under way with National Museums of Kenya to obtain suitable display cases, etc... during 2013. A number of historical items currently held at the Kenya Scout HQs in Rowallan Campsite, Nairobi are likely to be moved into the new museum once it has been completed. This includes a 1st Edition copy of Scouting for Boys .[ 2] [ 3]
