I knew I should have googled him! ;P

I thought he was a conservationist because there is a nature reserve near Dwellingup named after him.. Well I did put a question mark! I wasn't sure!

Lol, it's okay! I just thought you might like a concrete answer--which wasn't very concrete at all, considering that that was off the top of my head. ^^;; But Wiki seems to suggest that yes, he was at the head of the scouting movement way back when...and that the Powell part of his last name sounded like "poll," interestingly enough. I've never heard it said, so I've just got to take their word for it.
