The Story of Baden-Powell
Illustrated Biography of Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell OM, GCMG, GCVO, KCB (22 February 1857 - 8 January 1941), also known as B-P, who was a lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, and founder of the Scouting Movement. Written by Edward Harold Begbie who was an English author and journalist who published nearly fifty books, and contributed to periodicals. At first Begbie took up farming, but later moved to London and joined the Daily Chronicle and later the Globe. He wrote books of popular verse, and much literature for children. At the outbreak of World War I he wrote a number of recruiting poems and visited America on behalf of his paper. Some of the articles he wrote there were used as propaganda. In 1917, he publicly defended the rights of Pacifists and Conscientious Objectors to oppose the War. He later wrote his best known work under the pseudonym of "A Gentleman with a Duster," in which various anomalies and injustices were exposed.
My Adventures As a Spy
"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.

Aids To Scouting
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 ...
Rovering to Success
Excerpt from Rovering to Success: A Book of Life-Sport for Young Men Another Edition? Well, I am glad that there should be this further demand for the book. As I said in my former preface, it was with a feeling of great thankfulness that I received testimony that the book had been found helpful by so very many. I only hope that this fresh edition may prove equally so, especially since two things have developed themselves in Rovering since the book first appeared. One is the Rover Branch of Scouting, which, after steady evolution, has now established itself on a sound and permanent footing. This has necessitated the re-casting of the final chapter, dealing with Organisation and Rules, in acco...
