Rovering to Success
A Book of Life-Sport for Young Men (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rovering to Success: A Book of Life-Sport for Young Men<br><br>Another Edition<br><br>Well, I am glad that there should be this further demand for the book.<br><br>As I said in my former preface, it was with a feeling of great thankfulness that I received testimony that the book had been found helpful by so very many.<br><br>I only hope that this fresh edition may prove equally so, especially since two things have developed themselves in Rovering since the book first appeared.<br><br>One is the Rover Branch of Scouting, which, after steady evolution, has now established itself on a sound and permanent footing. This has necessitated the re-casting of the final chapter, dealing with Organisation and Rules, in accordance with suggestions received from the Rover Scouts themselves.<br><br>The second result has been the adoption of Rovering by the Scouts of other nations to an extent which already supplies the nucleus of a World-Brotherhood of young men working under a common ideal of Service, and under a common bond of Friendship and Understanding.<br><br>This, to my mind, is a definite step forward in the direction for which we all aim, viz. the promotion of God's Kingdom of Peace on Earth and Goodwill among men.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
