This anthology collects 200 photographs that depict the founder, the Scouts themselves-showing them engaged in Scouting activities within their numerous branches-and key places with a Scouting connection. Such images help to bring alive the many camps, excursions, and duties enjoyed and performed by millions of youngsters and adults throughout the decades.

They will evoke nostalgic memories in the many past and present members of the Scout Movement, and will also appeal to all those with an interest in traditions, British institutions, and social history.
