Percy Bantock Nevill OBE FCA[1] (1887–1975), known as P. B. Nevill, was an early Scoutmaster in the Boy Scout Movement, and a commissioner of the Scout Association of the United Kingdom, including as long-term Headquarters Commissioner and later, vice president.
Nevill was born on 14 June 1887 in the Stamford Hill area of the London Borough of Hackney, England.
He helped establish and was a warden and trustee of Roland House Boy Scout settlement.
He was the association's Headquarters Commissioner for Kindred Societies, to liaise with other organisations, from 1914 until 1949, at the same time as he held other commissionerships and roles.
He disagreed with changes implemented following the 1966 The Chief Scout's Advance Party Report, particularly the discontinuation of Rovers and resigned all his active positions with the association but was made honorary commissioner for life.
[6][7] In 1916, Nevill moved into Roland House Boy Scout Settlement, at 29 Stepney Green, East London as its warden.
