Kurzbeschreibung
The first, and only, critical edition of this world-famous book. "Scouting For Boys" is the original blueprint of the Boy Scout Movement. An all-time bestseller in the English-speaking world, second only to the Bible. The original text and illustrations (first published in 1908) are brilliantly re-created to give the book cross-over appeal for the humour market. Oxford is planning a major marketing push for this title.
-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Synopsis
The blueprint for the Boy Scout Movement, this hugely influential manual is a must for anyone interested in scouting, youth education, and outdoor activities. The celebrated British General not only provides energetic tips on camping, tracking, and woodcraft, but also offers proper Victorian-era advice on manners, self-discipline, and, above all, good citizenship. It includes the original illustrations.

Scouting for Boys. The Original 1908 Edition: A Handbook For Instruction In Good Citizenship
Zum Lesen und Verstehen, nicht zum Sammeln.
Eine neu abgetippte version des originals, daher gut lesbar, mit den original Illustrationen. Es fehlen aber die Illustrationen der Einbände des Originals wie sie hier Scouting for Boys: The Original 1908 Edition (Dover Books on Sports and Popular Recreations) vorhanden sind.
Das Vorwort kann mann vergessen da die Autorin selber zugibt von der Sache nichts zu verstehen. Die "Fußnoten" (stehen hinten im Buch) sind jedoch richtig hilfreich und tragen zum besseren Verständniss bei.
Das Buch im Link ist wie eine Fotokopie des Originals, mit recht schlechter Schrift. Eher ein Sammlerstück
Scouting for Boys. The Original 1908 Edition: A Handbook For Instruction In Good Citizenship
For those looking for reading and understanding, not for collectors.
A retyped version of the original, which makes it very well readable. Features the original illustrations but the covers of the chapters featured in this book Scouting for Boys: The Original 1908 Edition (Dover Books on Sports and Popular Recreations)are missing. The foreword is to be ignored (as the writer explains herself she has no knowledge of the matter) but the "explanatory notes" are very helpful.
The linked too book is like a copy of the original, with less good print. More a collectors item.

"The British Empire wants your help"
16. Juni 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
At the very beginning of the twentieth century, retired General Robert Baden-Powell, the hero of the siege of Mafeking, coalesced his ideas for an organization to train young British boys in scouting for the British Empire. Not a very organized thinker, Baden-Powell borrowed heavily from all sorts of unrelated resources - newspaper articles, military dispatches, fiction, and much more - and produced this, his first book on scouting. Originally published as six separate books, this book brings all of them together, complete with original illustrations.
Now, as might be expected from its roots, this book reflects a lot of the biases and ways of thinking from Edwardian England. But, leaving that aside, this is a fun and interesting book that shows clearly the forms that have stayed with the Boy Scouts movement to this very day. The introduction was written by Elleke Boehmer, a professor of Colonial and Postcolonial literature, and is a fairly predictable deconstruction/analysis of B-P and his movement.
Now, as a newcomer to Scouting (my son is a Tenderfoot) did I find anything useful in this book? I sure did. Robert Baden-Powell was very knowledgeable about the subject, and this book sure shows it. (I never thought of tying my shoes like that!) Of course some of the information is out of date, especially the first-aid information, so it isn't really usable by the boys "as is." But, this is a nice resource, one that shows you where Scouting started.
Oh, and I must say that I actually enjoyed the somewhat jumbled organization of this book. It isn't as scholarly and antiseptic as modern Boy Scout books, and the stories and tales laced throughout make the reading much more fun. Plus, I did find the focus on some subjects, such as logic and deductive reasoning, to be quite interesting. I loved this book, and highly recommend it to you!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was an Eagle Scout as a boy, and now I'm the founding Scoutmaster of my sons' troop. As such, I was anxious to get a copy of this hard cover version. Baden-Powell's work is a classic and well worth the read. The problem with this edition is the Introduction by Elleke Boehmer. Without it, the book is a 5-star. Ms. Boehmer appears a non-believer. Reading her is like taking a pessimistic art critic along side while viewing an art gallery. Far more benefit (for all concerned) would occur without her input. For each positive she states about BP, she mentions a negative. She also spends just over two pages discussing homosexual tendencies (pp xxxii-xxxiii) within BP's works, something which is out of place in this work. I started to list several quotes, but I think one sums it up best of all from the back cover: "She has never been a scout, but she did once shake hands with Lady Baden-Powell at a jubilee celebration in South Africa." I guess that must make her an expert.

A Book That Changed The World
21. Januar 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is the basic foundation of the largest youth organisation in the history of the world and has been printed in more editions and languages than most other books apart from the Christion Bible. It was designed to be read by young people and to motivate them to develop all of their skills. It continues to be a major force in motivating young people to prepare to be active citizens in society. However it also contains simple truths for adults on the nature of young people and how best to help them learn and to achieve their full potential. It is required reading for adults educating or working with young people. Read it, enjoy it and then come join Scouting.
