"A scout must always be prepared at any moment to do his duty, and to face danger in order to help his fellow-men." A startling amalgam of Zulu war-cry and imperial and urban myth, of borrowed tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys (1908) is the original blueprint and 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement. One of the all-time bestsellers in the English-speaking world, this primer of 'yarns and pictures' constitutes probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend, padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and Baden-Powell's own autobiography, and seamed through with the multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns about masculinity and self-restraint, and invasion paranoia. Elleke Boehmer's edition of Scouting for Boys reprints the original text and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists, capitalists and environmentalists alike.

In 1899 while serving in the 2nd Boer War, Robert Baden-Powell penned his sixth military book, Aids To Scouting. It was a non-typical training manual filled with personal stories of intrigue and even games. Its goal was to encourage the development of light reconnaissance scouting skills within the British Army. The book was well received by various armies of its time, including the French Army. His successful defense of Mafeking (1899-1900) in South Africa made Baden-Powell a well-known national hero in Britain. But what completely surprised Baden-Powell was that his book was eagerly taken up by teachers and youth groups to help organize outdoor activities and sport. He eventually embraced the idea of adapting his work into a new youth-oriented book, Scouting for Boys (1908) which went on to sell approx. 150 million copies to date. It was that follow-on book that firmly launched the international Boy Scouts movement. Aids to Scouting contains sections on the characters of a scout, as well as practical advice on observation, stealth/camouflage, map reading, sketching, tracking, reporting and care of horses. It presents these topics is a simple conversational style that makes it easy to read, and is illustrated with personal anecdotes of military adventures by the author. It gives scholars clear insights into his mindset and beliefs that served him well in the siege of Mafeking and shows a clear lineage to the formation of the tenets of his formation of the Boy Scouts. Anyone interested in the history of Boy Scouting will definitely want to read this interesting and formative book. (NOTE - Appendix C contents is missing in this Kindle version - but we hope to update the ebook with it once a suitable facsimile can be referenced).

First published in 1908, "Scouting for Boys" is the seminal work on scouting by British Army officer and founder of the worldwide scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Originally written as a manual for self-instruction, "Scouting for Boys" details many important scouting skills including scoutcraft, tracking, woodcraft, camping, and first-aid. Baden-Powell's work is a rework of his earlier "Aids to Scouting", published in 1899, and borrows many ideas from Ernest Thompson Seton's "The Birch Bark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians", published in 1906. "Scouting for Boys" includes numerous tales that can be told around the campfire, as well as many of Baden-Powell's personal anecdotes, and opinions on proper moral character of boy scouts. While some of the information in this work may seem outdated and some of the moralizing many seem antiquated to modern readers, "Scouting for Boys" remains an important historical work in the scouting movement. Having sold millions of copies since its first publication, the impact Baden-Powell's "Scouting for Boys" as well as his personal advocacy for the scouting movement cannot be overstated. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
