Baden-Powell was made a Baronet in 1922 and was created Baron Baden-Powell, of Gilwell in the County of Essex, in 1929, Gilwell Park being the International Scout Leader training centre.

I can't possibly answer for all the other people, but I can say that I've never called him Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell. Come to think of it, I've never called him anything.
