Robert Baden-Powell was born in 1857 and served in the British army in India, Afghanistan, West and South Africa. He became a national hero after his command of the siege of Mafeking during the Boer War. He founded the Scout Movement, which now boasts some 28 million members worldwide, in 1907 with twenty-five boys at an experimental scout camp on Brownsea Island. He died in Kenya in 1941.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Drawing on Baden-Powell's extensive archive, Playing the Game is a rich and evocative selection of his writings, on peace - a major theme throughout his career and the theme of the 2007 centenary celebrations, on his own life, from his wonderfull idiosyncratic anecdotal autobiography and includes a healthy sprinkling of some of BP's more memorable aphorisms, such as I dont mind confessing I have a weakness for hippos' and 'The man who holds the average boys attention for more than seven minutes is a genius', not to mention 'Knowledge without character is mere pie-crust'. Imbued with a strong sense of the splendour and the old-school Empire feel of Baden-Powells work, Playing the Game offers a dazzling window into a world thats gone, but whose legacy remains alive, not least in the 28 million members of the Scouts Association A highly entertaining anthology drawn from the writings of the founder of the Scout movement, originally published to tie-in with the yearlong celebrations of the centenary of scouting, now available in paperback Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
