Youth, Empire and Society - British Youth Movements, 1883–1940

This book (1977) examines youth movements in Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of industrial and social uncertainty. It explores five key movements – Boy’s Brigades, ethnoreligious Lads’ Brigades, Cadet Corps, Boy Scouts, and Woodcraft groups, tracing their formation, growth, and eventual decline.
