  • 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

  • How Girls Can Help Their Country

    by Juliette Gordon Low, Agnes Baden-Powell, Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...

  • My Adventures as a Spy

    by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell ...

Spies are like ghosts—people seem to have had a general feeling that there might be such things, but ... 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
