Story4.5 out of 5 stars 48
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.

Robert Baden-Powell's memories of some of his espionage operations between the 1880s and the outbreak of the First World War.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Given the prominence of scouting culture in the United States, many assume that the movement is rooted in North America. On the contrary, the movement was initiated in and spread forth from the United Kingdom, more specifically in England. It was the brainchild of the 1st Baron Baden-Powell, a beloved and decorated war veteran armed with not only Martini-Henry rifles and Lee-Enfield carbines but a vision that would one day be espoused by every nation on earth except Andorra, China, Cuba, North Korea, and Laos.

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Written against a background of British colonialism, Scouting for Boys is both a fascinating historical document and a valuable guidebook for the modern scout.

Proper scouting guidelines from RBP
Perhaps a bit dated in 2020 but the spirit of scouting is distilled in this tiny guide from forming a troop to civic engagement. For fans of history & scouting

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!
