Catterick Garrison history

---

Catterick Garrison was first recommended by Robert Baden-Powell who founded the Scouting movement in 1908. The original intention was for the camp to accommodate two divisions with around 40,000 men in 2,000 huts. During the Second World War the camp was once again used to house prisoners of war. In 2018, four stone monuments, including a steam locomotive and a likeness of Lord Baden Powell, were erected on the town’s central roundabout.
