For anyone who has ever loved Scouting, this book by William “Green Bar Bill” Hillcourt is truly an inspiring read. It tells Lord Baden-Powell’s story in two poignant parts: first, his illustrious military career in which he rose to the rank of Lieutenant-General in the British army; then, his post-war vision that became the Boy Scout program.

Read about his remarkable plan to engage boys in purposeful fun and draw them away from the rough streets of turn-of-the-century England. Authorized, limited-edition reprint of the original. Hardback, 466 pages.
