Luis Carrasco-Muñoz y Pérez de la Isla, a resident of Madrid, is celebrating his 111th birthday today, according to the Association of Adult Scouts and Guides of Madrid (ASGAM).
He was born in Madrid on 13 February 1914. He is the oldest living Scout in the country, having begun his journey as a child in Los Exploradores de España, a former Spanish Scout association founded in 1912 by Cavalry Captain Teodoro Iradier y Herrero. The organization was inspired by Robert Baden-Powell’s Boy Scouts.
