Well, you know what a knight is—or rather, used to be in the old days—a gallant fellow who was always ready to defend weaker people when they were being bullied; he was brave and honourable, and ready to risk his life in doing his duty according to the code or law of Chivalry. Well, nowadays there are thousands of boys all over the British Empire carrying out the same idea, and making themselves into fine, reliable men, ready to take the place of those who have gone away to fight and who have fallen at the Front.

These are the Boy Scouts. Their code is the Scout Law—that is, a set of ten rules which they carry out in their daily life. I will explain these Laws, and will give you some other yarns of camp life and adventure such as the Scouts go in for. Convert currency. Add to Basket. Book Description Condition: New.

I have read both, though at a little distance in time from each other, and my impression is that the pamphlet is far less anecdotal and tries to serve as a memo to fellow officers on what might be expected in a similar situation. B-P concludes the pamphlet by what would today be taken as an admission of guilt, but in the days of Empire-building was a fact of life in dealing with native forces under white leadership, or come to that discipline within our own armies. And I believe that is only by acting in this way that a man could, on the Gold Coast, organise a native levy and — live.

T HIS was meant to be the female equivalent of Scouting for Boys , written in collaboration with Baden-Powell's sister Agnes, but also with the guidance of his mother. Herbert Jenkins, pp. T HE book is a compilation of the author's everyday experiences while stationed as an officer of Her Majesty in India, as recollected from his letters and diaries sent to his Mother, who fortunately kept everything, knowing that her son would one day become famous.

Publisher Description

Image courtesy of the Collection of Attilio Grieco, Italy. The illustration is of the edition. A slim volume, but of a length that B-P thought might prove too long for his audience! T HIS slim volume is often described as a booklet, but it has a soft cover like the Cub Scout Handbook and, I think, needs to be on a par with it, so is included here in the Book section. T HE book was designed to be read by Wolf Cubs.

T HE book, illustrated by Baden-Powell, starts with an appraisal of what was wrong with the 'modern youth' not Scouts!

T HE book looks at the motives in life and examines one B-P's favourites, 'sticktoititus' - which I used to know as 'stickability' - or as it is called in more mundane terms - perseverance. Basil Blackwell 13 pp out of 40pp. Ernest Benn, 79pp. A mixture of personal reminiscences and Scouting stories. T HIS is B-P's own account of his journeys around Africa in and is scattered with reminisces of earlier tours and his military service.

Young Knights of the Empire: Their Code, and Further Scout Yarns by Robert Baden-Powell - FictionDB

B-P wrote the preface in Pretoria in October As there were no inherited traditions, B-P was able apply his ideas and principals from the start, even to the extent of designing the uniform which was, without doubt, the basis for that worn by Boy Scouts in Unfortunately the booklet does not contain any illustrations. There are seven sections with appendices that detail, chapter and verse, how the new force is to be run. Section II is headed by familiar words 'Conduct of Scouts and Patrols', though the terms 'Scout' and 'Patrol' apply to army scouting and were by no means fresh concepts, having been well-explored by B-P in his earlier books.

See book section above. The 'cover image' shown here is in fact that of the flyleaf. Should any reader have access to a complete copy, we would be very grateful to use a scan of it, with, of course, an appropriate acknowledgement. T HE booklet has a message printed in red on its inner cover, A suggestion which may help any man who desires to do a good turn to his country, his neighbour and himself.

There then follows a series of 'hints', sometimes three to a page, in which B-P puts forward the case for 'Peace Scouting' as a remedy to hooliganism. A handbook 'Scouting for Boys' is promised in the near future to assist them.

Baden-Powell is careful not to "teach my grandmother to suck eggs", addressing his 'hints' only to those who had not had previous practice in teaching boys. The 'experimental camp' on Brownsea Island is described and there are hints on how to acquire and maintain a 'club room' which would need to have a 'bright fire' in winter, and the provision of a coffee bar would help develop a regular income to offset costs. There is advice on religion and discipline and the book concludes with a further exhortation to the reader to "train half a dozen boys.

Clearly the long-term future of the Movement required adult leadership to assist the rising tide of boy-initiated patrols, inspired by the author's Aids to Scouting. This pamphlet ensured their supply. Although there are only a few pages, the pamphlet is lavishly illustrated, some pages having as many as three delightful watercolours by Baden-Powell, two being full plate. We are told by the author that he was seeing a friend off from Southampton Docks when he "got the scent of sunshine".

I wonder what Scout Headquarters made of that? The booklet is a wonderful travelogue, but, as is usual in B-P's commentaries, no dates are mentioned. There are wonderful descriptions and watercolours of Rio de Janeiro and of Chile, though often the illustrations are not referred to in the text. There is scant reference to Scouting, but it is clear that it was never far from The Founder's mind.

Chile was the second country in the world to have Scouting. Just in case the reader too could smell the sunshine, the inside back cover carried a full page advertisement for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's cruise! As a part of 'Aims', B-P explains that he wanted to help boys on leaving school to find employment, but to avoid 'blind alley' jobs. He opened up, for example, the possibility of employment in the 'Dominions'.

Under 'Methods', the training scheme, with a description of the badge system, was outlined. A key principle was that the boys themselves should find the finance necessary for their group and it should not "be solicited". The religious dimension of Scouting is examined and every Scout was expected to "belong to some religious denomination and attend its services.

The way in which people might contribute their time or money was clearly laid out with a contact address and a form to use to bequest money to the Scout Association. Baden-Powell may well have been pleased with the pamphlet's content - but he was not pleased with the original cover.
