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 While some of the information in this work may seem outdated and some of the moralizing many seem antiquated to modern readers, "Scouting for Boys" remains an important historical work in the scouting movement.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.

Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Size: 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall; This is the most famous book in the Scout Movement-written and illustrated by the Founder himself in 1908 and appearing in those days in six fortnightly parts. Subsequently B. -P. made many alterations and additions, particularly in relation to Badge Tests and Rules. Furthermore he asked many people to help him with amendments dealing with technical matters. For some time it has been clear that revisions, adjustments and alterations of all kinds ought to cease and a "once-for-all" Edition of Scouting for Boys be published. Here is the result-an Edition which retains most of the Founder's original work whilst omitting those parts of the various revisions which have become dated and have ceased to be applicable. In addition it contains for the first time a great many of the Founder's own sketches which have hitherto never been included.
