Lord Robert Baden-Powell had made Saint George the patron Saint of the Scouting Movement. Baden-Powell had a favorite rhyme about our patron Saint:

"My warmest good wishes I am sending to you And hoping that the winter is through

You will start out afresh to follow the lead Of our Patron Saint George and his spirited steed; Not only to tackle what ever my befall, But also successfully to win through it all And then may you have an enjoyable spell Of hiking, and jolly good camping as well."

Here's a table to show a bit more about him:

between ca. AD 275 and 281, Nicomedia, Bithynia April 23, 303, Lydda, Palestine April 23

This is called Saint George and the dragon.
