The original 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement, Scouting for Boys (1908) is probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet it is an extraordinary hodge-podge of jingoist lore, tracker legend, extracts from adventure fiction, and autobiographical writing which reveals the multiple anxieties of its author and time.

The first, and only, critical edition of Baden-Powell's bestselling manual, Scouting for BoysThe editorial material reveals the true complexity of this fascinating book: its literary and anti-literary qualities; its advice on male bonding and masculinity; and its intertwining of the health of the body, the nation, and the empireNotes relate the book to the many sources which informed it, from Kipling to Samuel Smiles (author of Self-Help), woodcraft lore to detective fiction, and amateur theatre to sex manualsBaden-Powell's original advice about masturbation, cut from the original, and all subsequent editions of Scouting for Boys, appears as an AppendixAll Baden-Powell's illustrations for the first edition are included
