Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I love spy stories — especially when they are true." - Barthélemy Banks, Mumm You think he was the ultimate Boy Scout, but before Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scouting Movement he was a spy. Not only did he spy for the British government, he wrote a book about those adventures -- explaining all. From the passing secret messages to using disguises, from hoodwinking the enemy to knowing whom to trust (no one). Baden-Powell tells all, and it reads like — well, like a spy novel. But it's all true.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baden-Powell: The Hero of Mafeking It was said of him in his school days that He was always preparing. It may now be said that he was always preparing for Mafeking. How he tried to prepare the nation for the trial Will be appreciated by even the most cursory student of his remarkable career. In India, South Africa, Ashanti be rendered splendid service to the Empire before the present campaign was started. And there is evidence that not only in the countries named, but also on the continent he had done good work the proofs of which are now pigeon-holed in the gloomy building known as the War Office. Such men as baden-powell, though they may not commend themselves to the staunch upholders of what is known as the kid glove and eye-glass letter-of-the-regulations branch of officialdom, and may not win admission to the ranks of the decorated, do incalculable service in knitting together the bonds of Empire.

Download or read book Aids To Scouting written by Robert Baden-Powell and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1899 while serving in the 2nd Boer War, Robert Baden-Powell penned his sixth military book, Aids To Scouting. It was a non-typical training manual filled with personal stories of intrigue and even games. Its goal was to encourage the development of light reconnaissance scouting skills within the British Army. The book was well received by various armies of its time, including the French Army. His successful defense of Mafeking (1899-1900) in South Africa made Baden-Powell a well-known national hero in Britain. But what completely surprised Baden-Powell was that his book was eagerly taken up by teachers and youth groups to help organize outdoor activities and sport. He eventually embraced the idea of adapting his work into a new youth-oriented book, Scouting for Boys (1908) which went on to sell approx. 150 million copies to date. It was that follow-on book that firmly launched the international Boy Scouts movement. Aids to Scouting contains sections on the characters of a scout, as well as practical advice on observation, stealth/camouflage, map reading, sketching, tracking, reporting and care of horses. It presents these topics is a simple conversational style that makes it easy to read, and is illustrated with personal anecdotes of military adventures by the author. It gives scholars clear insights into his mindset and beliefs that served him well in the siege of Mafeking and shows a clear lineage to the formation of the tenets of his formation of the Boy Scouts. Anyone interested in the history of Boy Scouting will definitely want to read this interesting and formative book. (NOTE - Appendix C contents is missing in this Kindle version - but we hope to update the ebook with it once a suitable facsimile can be referenced).
