About this book
Small patrols, practical exercises and a daily good turn form the working method of this 1908 handbook for boys and their instructors. Baden-Powell explains how to organise a troop, teach scout signs and knots, practise observation, and use games to develop readiness and responsibility. His opening account of bicycle messengers at Mafeking connects the training with his experience of military service.
The contents range from tracking animals and recognising plants to camp life, first aid, health and courtesy. Activities can take place in a town, in the countryside or indoors, with suggestions for instructors alongside stories told around the camp fire. Readers interested in early scouting will find a detailed view of its original routines, ideals and language, including the strong place given to patriotism, obedience and helping others.
