Conclusion. 330 $aThis book explores the prevailing role of rites of passage, ritual, and ceremony in contemporary children?s lives through the lens of modern-day incarnations of uniformed youth movements. It focuses on the socialising ritual and customary practices of present-day grass-roots Scout and Guide groups, asking how Britain?s largest and best-known uniformed youth organisations employ ritualised activities to express their values to their young members through language and gesture, story and song, dress, and physical artifacts. The author shows that these practices exist against a backdrop of culturally-constructed beliefs about what constitutes the ?good child? and ?good childhood? in twenty-first century Britain, with in-movement practices intended to help children develop positively and prepare for social life. The book draws on case study accounts of group performances, incorporating the voices of children and adults reflecting on their practices and experiences. Catherine Bannister is a Research Associate within the School of Education at the University of Sheffield, UK. She works on projects related to children?s play, including digital play with technology, bringing to the research her own interests in folklore, as well as ritual and passage practices for and by young people. 410 0$aStudies in Childhood and Youth,$x2731-6475 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aYouth$xSocial life and customs 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 606 $aYouth Culture 606 $aSocial History 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aSocial Policy 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aYouth$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 615 24$aYouth Culture. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a248.83 676 $a369.40941 700 $aBannister$b Catherine$01264836 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910631093203321 996 $aScouting and Guiding in Britain$92965716 997 $aUNINA
