An award-winning documentary tracing the rise of the World Scout Movement.
Eighty years ago, Lt General Robert S. S. Baden-Powell published a handbook intended to build character in British youth. To his surprise Scouting for Boys sparked off the growth of an international movement of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides who acclaimed 'B-P' the Chief Scout of the World.
Historic newsreels, rare archival footage and B-P's own home movies document the triumphs and tragedies of the Scout ideal in this rich and compelling story, that ranges from the playing-fields of Victorian England to the battlefields of World War II.

A series of films about the way we live now
A Cabinet of Curiosities with Lucinda Lambton
A cigarette holder dropped by Queen Mary when she came to tea, a fragment of wallpaper that may have killed Napoleon, a pet chameleon, a book bound in a murderer's skin ...
Lucinda Lambton conjures up curiosities from the dark corners of museums and collections throughout the land. With her irrepressible sense of fun, she tells the story of the eccentrics who gathered these treasures.
Squire Waterton of Wakefield put his years with the foxhounds to good use - riding an alligator ashore.
John Joseph Merlin tried out his invention of roller skates at a ladies' tea party - but hadn't worked out how to stop. Philip Yorke of Erddig gave a mysterious box labelled 'consolidated milk' pride of place in his family museum. 'Now this,' says Lucinda Lambton , 'is a perfect example of something which nobody in their right mind would preserve!' Photography JOHN GOODYER
