Second Boer War in
South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the city in the
Siege of Mafeking. Several of his military books, written for
military reconnaissance and scout training in his African years, were also read by boys. Based on those earlier books, he wrote

Pearson, for youth readership. During writing, he tested his ideas through a
camping trip on Brownsea Island that began on
