Long Description:
It appears that the stone may have originally included a sundial but all that remains is the plinth. There are several inscriptions on the stone:

'Erected to commemorate the Jubilee year of scouting and centenary of the birth of Baden Powell by Biggleswade and district boy scouts local association 1857-1907-1957.'

'The year of The Scout 1907-1982.'

'Biggleswade scouting 1909-2009.'

The stone is in the centre of Biggleswade near the war memorial.
