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.

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.
