It offered a vision of romantic outdoor life as a cure for disruption caused by industrialization and urbanization.

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. 606 $aScouts (Youth organization members)$zGreat Britain$xColonies 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xAdministration 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xRace relations$xHistory 615 0$aScouts (Youth organization members)$xColonies. 676 $a369.43 676 $a369.430967 700 $aParsons$b Timothy$f1962-$01617392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814911403321 996 $aRace, resistance, and the Boy Scout movement in British Colonial Africa$93948546 997 $aUNINA
