Scouting frontiers : youth and the scout movement's first century

edited by Nelson R. Block and Tammy M. Proctor

Despite the fact that Scouting has touched the lives of a quarter of a billion boys and girls and their leaders around the world in the past century, its history has been largely ignored. "Scouting Frontiers: Youth and the Scout Movement's First Century" is the first book to discuss the history and principal themes of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movements on an international scale. Inspired by presentations at the ground-breaking 2008 Johns Hopkins University symposium, 'Scouting: A Centennial History', the authors examine the world's greatest youth movement through the diverse experiences of its members and their organizations. From Muslim Scouts in Wales to French Scouts in Syria to Girl Guides in colonial Kenya, Scouting has responded to the challenges of international expansion and transformed itself to address cultural, political and social diversity. "Scouting Frontiers" focuses particularly on the intersections between Scouting's origins and its transformations over the last century as it faced frontiers of nation, empire, religion, race, class, and gender.
