Foreword We, of the Boy Scouts of Britain, read with great eagerness and much enlightenment all the literature that we can get hold of which is published in America on the practice and methods of Scouting for Boys. In a similar way it may interest our brother Scoutmasters in the States to hear something of what we are doing over here in the same direction. Conditions may differ, temperaments are not all alike, national characteristics may vary but for all that I find in my experience that go where you will the boy is the same animal, bless him, there and here and everywhere. Scouting in its principle applies and appeals in almost equal degree to the boy whatever may be his country, creed, or class. Some of my friends in America have given a very kindly greeting to my recent book which was primarily intended for the assistance of Scoutmasters in Britain. I have now ventured therefore to bring out this American edition in the hope that it may prove of interest to others and induce a still closer unity of thought and purpose between British and American Scouts, and thus ensure that the next generation shall carry on and develop that splendid spirit of comradeship which was engendered in the war between the fighting men of America and their British cousins through their common sacrifices in a common cause.
