Born in Dublin in April 1905, Leslie Paul grew up in South East London. After World War I he became deeply involved with scouting and related youth movements. He left the Scouts to join the Kibbo Kift Kindred but after a dispute with the Kibbo Kift leader, John Hargrave in 1925, some south London co-operative groups challenged Hargrave's authoritarian tendencies. The dispute was over his refusal to recognise a local group called "The Brockley Thing". The result was a split, and a group, including Paul, broke away from the Kindred, to form the Woodcraft Folk which is still active.
