J. Anthony Gaughan’s book gives a comprehensive account of scouting in Ireland. The Irish Baden Powell scouts date back to 1908. This overview illustrates how scouting has evolved at the same time as Irish society and today is both inclusive and pluralist. The present aim of the movement is to promote progressive self-education by the ‘scout method’, with its emphasis on leadership and responsibility, learning by doing and above all services. |
