Contents: Foreword; Introduction; How to Train the Boy; Character; Health and Physical Development; Making a Career; Service for Others; Reconstruction; The Education Act and the Boy Scout; The Attitude of Labor Towards Scouting; Appendix. Aids To Scoutmastership should be every Scoutmaster's companion. The main purpose of the book is to show the object and methods of Scout training. It offers the Scoutmaster some ideas for training boys to be good citizens, through the use of the four greatest qualities of Scouting: character, physical health, handcraft for making a career, and service to others. Powell explains each of the four qualities and elaborates on how they fit into every day life. Aids to Scoutmastership gives the Scoutmaster suggested themes for meetings, and specific tasks for advancement. No troop library is complete, and no Scoutmaster should be without this handy guide. Let Powell be your personal guide through the Scouting experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tells the true purpose of scouting as it was intended.,
By Kevin Shanahan (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aids to Scoutmastership: A Handbook for Scoutmasters on the Theory of Scout Training (With Pamplet) (Paperback)
As you read this book you will see how little boys have changed over the history of scouting. This book goes into great details into how Baden-Powell trained his scouts. It provides activities and stories that will help you in your role as a scoutleader today. The book was written to aid in the training in the early days of WoodBadge. I recomend this book highly to anyone who believes in the purpose of scouting is to make better citizens and leaders of society. As a scoutmaster I have found this an invaluable source of ideas and inspiration.

This review is from: Aids to Scoutmastership: A Handbook for Scoutmasters on the Theory of Scout Training (With Pamplet) (Paperback)
I have searched our local Boy Scout stores and even on line with the BSA Scoutstuff and only found this work by the founder of the world wide Scouting movement at Amazon. I was surprised when I received it that it was in a larger format than the original printing, but this reprint has larger print, larger illustrations, and wide margins for my notes of how to apply Lord Baden Powell's wisdom. I decided I preferred this larger format. I was very pleased to find this important work available on Amazon.

I enjoyed what was presented, but I felt there should have been more substance, the how to's, motivational stories, more hands on examples. I know there are other books in Scouting which do that, so I'm not left wanting. I'm not sorry I bought the book and I'll certainly keep it in my library.
