  • How Girls Can Help Their Country

    by Juliette Gordon Low, Agnes Baden-Powell, Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    Girl Scouts, like Boy Scouts, are found all over the world. When Sir Robert Baden-Powell formed the first troops of Boy Scouts, six thousand girls enrolled themselves, but, as Sir Robert's project did not include the admission of girls, he asked his sister, Miss Baden-Powell, to found a similar organization for girls, based on the Boy Scout laws, with activities and occupations properly adapted ...

  • My Adventures as a Spy

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    It has been difficult to write in peace-time on the delicate subject of spies and spying, but now that the war is in progress and the methods of those much abused gentry have been disclosed, there is no harm in going more fully into the question, and to relate some of my own personal experiences. Spies are like ghosts—people seem to have had a general feeling that there might be such things, but ... Read more

  • Scouting for Boys

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    We had an example of how useful Boy Scouts can be on active service, when a corps of boys was formed in the defence of Mafeking, 1899-1900. Mafeking, you may remember, was quite a small ordinary country town out on the open plains of South Africa. Nobody ever thought of its being attacked by an enemy any more than you would expect this town (or village) to be attacked—the thing was so improbable. ... Read more

  • Young Knights of the Empire: Their Code and Further Scout Yarns

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    A Scout ought to know a little about most injuries and diseases, and to be able to treat them. In uncivilised countries the natives all look on a white man as a born doctor, and they bring you cases of every kind to deal with. When I was in Kashmir, a lad was brought to me who had just fallen down a steep bank. He was in great pain, and his friends and relatives were already considering him as ... Read more

  • Scouting for Girls: Adapted from Girl Guiding

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    A Brownie is a household fairy who lives under and in the trees. This is the reason that the Brownies badge is an acorn. There are many kinds of Brownies, such as Sprites, Elves, Gnomes, Fairies, Goblins, Pixies, Imps, Nymphs, Will-o’-the-wisps. Have you ever seen a fairy ring? There are many in the woods and sometimes in the garden—just a wide circle in the ground of rather darker grass than the ... Read more

  • Scouting for Girls

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell ...
    Girl Scouting has a double meaning. To some it means the fun of playing the games of the Girl Scouts; to others, the fun of "playing the game" in Scouting Girls. Our desire in producing this Scout scheme is to offer help to parents, teachers, and patriots who may care to avail themselves of it when it comes to the duty of training girls. The object of the Scout training is to give our girls, ... Read more

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...
    Our lodging was next door to the club buildings, now used as a barrack for Grey’s Scouts, and defended with a small bastion of tin biscuitcases and sacks filled with earth. By breakfasttime I had investigated Buluwayo. A red earth flat laid out by ditches, in blocks and streets, over two miles long and half a mile wide. The centre portion of the town well filled with buildings, all singlestoreyed, ... Read more
