Book Description:
Illustrated by the Author. Contents: Foreword; Scoutcraft; Campaigning; Camp Life; Tracking; Woodcraft; Endurance for Scouts; Chivalry; Saving Life; Our duties as Citizens; The Story of 'B P;' B P's Last Message. Lady Baden Powell's introduction to the book: 'Scouting For Boys is a book for all time, and in his own lifetime, our Founder saw it in use in almost every country in the world. Details of programs and activities must always change with circumstances and conditions, but it is for us who come after him to act as its guardians and to see that the whole essence of Scouting is preserved therein, whatever may be the adaptations or allowances to meet varying conditions or needs. You will find that many of the suggestions for games and practices are still capable of use even today. But perhaps more important is the imaginative presentation of a particular subject which lies behind the suggested activity. We must always remember that the secret of the success which the Movement has achieved is the way in which ideas are presented and not merely the detail of the activities. Every word that our Founder wrote had truth behind it, and truth is not limited to any single generation or nation. Scouting For Boys is the Handbook showing us how to use, care for, preserve, and hand down, the tool which his genius devised and which he bequeathed to us. If we learn to use this tool in its purity, its simplicity, and its spirit, we shall find that it meets the needs of every place and of each succeeding generation of boys.' Need we say more?
