Book Description:
2007 saw the centenary of scouting and the 150th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Robert Baden Powell. Playing the Game examines the long lasting legacy of the movement and its forefather. Drawing on Baden Powell's extensive archive, it is a rich and evocative selection of his writings, on peace a major theme throughout his career, on his own life drawing from his wonderful idiosyncratic anecdotal autobiography, and including a healthy sprinkling of some of Baden Powell's more memorable aphorisms, such as 'I don t mind confessing I have a weakness for hippos,' and 'The man who holds the average boy s attention for more than seven minutes is a genius,' not to mention 'Knowledge without character is mere pie crust.' Imbued with a strong sense of the splendor and the old school Empire feel of Baden Powell s work, Playing the Game offers a dazzling window into a world that s gone, but whose legacy remains alive, not least in the 28 million members of the Scouts Association.
