Now that I've retired my Scoutmaster badge I'm able to write what I would have appreciated reading when I first took on the job 30 years ago. Since I started writing a blog at ScoutmasterCG.com 11 years ago, I've learned something of the power of storytelling. This narrative loosely follows my own experiences, but the new Scoutmaster in the story begins knowing things that took me many years to understand.

Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 4
This is the unofficial guide to Eagle-based on the author's experience and insights gained as an outsider to scouting. This Outsider status provides a different point of view. You may find this view a bit more based in the reality of boys and their lives. You may find the tips and strategies in this guide can change your Scout’s life - now and for the rest of his life, since Eagle is a life-time award. The author and his wife have guided two boys down the Eagle Scout trail.

Publisher's Summary
Since its first publication in 1908, Scouting for Boys has been one of the best-selling books in the English language. Subtitled A Handbook for Instruction in Good Citizenship, the book draws on a miscellany of material, including Baden-Powell's own military experiences, and is credited with giving birth to the scout movement. The audio covers the topics of scoutcraft, tracking and observation, woodcraft, camp life, and first aid in addition to suggesting a range of scout activities and games.
Written against a background of British colonialism, Scouting for Boys is both a fascinating historical document and a valuable guidebook for the modern scout.

A delightful book and recommended read for all!
A fantastic book which gives us insight in the man and the historical period it was written.
A book well set in it's time but one who's ideals could greatly benefit society today.

Be Prepared...
...for a real period piece, exceptionally well read. At times, it's difficult to believe in our enlightened times that some of it isn't tongue-in-cheek. But of course it's not. It would be so easy for Hugh Dennis to make it sound faintly ridiculous and antiquarian; however, he strikes just the right tone, not too ponderous, in no way condescending, but aware, I suspect, of its historical context and giving it due respect. Simplistic it may be to our modern sensitivities and sophistication, but not borne of naivete. And, dare I say it, a reminder of pioneering spirit!
