It offered a vision of romantic outdoor life as a cure for disruption caused by industrialization and urbanization. Scouting's global spread was due to its success in attaching itself to institutions of authority. As a result, scouting has become embroiled in controversies in the civil rights struggle in the American South, in nationalist resistance movements in India, and in the contemporary American debate over gay rights.Scouts (Youth organization members)Great BritainColoniesGreat BritainColoniesAfricaAdministrationGreat BritainColoniesAfricaRace relationsHistoryScouts (Youth organization members)Colonies.369.43369.430967Parsons Timothy1962-1491842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782626103321Race, resistance, and the Boy Scout movement in British Colonial Africa3836524UNINA
