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?

Aids to Scoutmastership: A Handbook for Scoutmasters on the Theory of Scout Training (With Pamplet)

Illustrated by the Author. Contents: Preface; How to Be Happy Through Rich or Poor; Rocks You are Likely to Bump on; Rovering. 'To sum up in a few words, success does not consist so much in gaining money and power as in gaining happiness. Many young men drift along with the rest of the crowd according to chance, and thus never reach happiness. From being passive be active. Don't drift. Take your own line. Paddle your own canoe. Only mind the rocks! Avoid them by cultivating other qualities." Powell explains the 'rocks" you are likely to bump on (Through herd temptation) Horses, betting and looking on at false sports. Wine, and other forms of self indulgence. Women, dangers of a wrong attitude and blessing of the right one. Extremists in politics, irreligion, etc. Powell elaborates on the antidotes to the 'rocks" (through individual effort) active hobbies, earning money, self-control, character, chivalry, health of mind and body, service for your fellow-men and for God. 'If you aim for it by practicing these safeguards, instead of being stranded among the rocks, you will win success and happiness." These and dozens of other inspiring maxims make this extraordinary book a useful companion for Scouts and Scout Leaders.

Scouting Round the World/With Pamphlet

Contents: My Apologies; My Education; Art and Acting; Sport; Spying and Scouting; Soldiering; Matabeleland; The South African War; The South African Constabulary; As Inspector-General of Cavalry; Life Number Two; The Boy Scouts and Girl Guides; The War; Looking Back; With 8 illustrations and 115 Drawings by the Author. The following is Powell's explanation of why he wrote this book: 'I didn't want to write this yarn about myself; an autobiography is bound to be an egotistical repetition of 'I" but several different people have asked me to write some of my experiences because they might be helpful to young fellows in aiming their lives. So it is mainly for these-and I include girls as well as men under the term 'fellows" -that I write, seeing that I have passed through the 'varsity' of the world above-mentioned. I don't propose to make it a formal biography beginning with my babyhood and going progressively through the years of my life. It will rather be a sort of hotch-potch or plumb-pudding, though I am afraid the plumbs will be few and you will have to pick them out for yourself." Although Powell's introduction is exceedingly modest, this book will take you on a tour of the adventures, viewpoints, and accomplishments of the remarkable man who founded scouting. Essential reading.
