Marching for hours, singing for days, and playing ‘Bulldog’s Charge’ at every opportunity.\u003ci\u003e This Scouting Life \u003c\/i\u003eis a story about the experiences shared by millions of people worldwide, and in communities all across Ireland. For the author, Archie Raeside, this is the story of how an eight-year-old boy in Dublin of 1947 decides he wants to become a Scout and how that desire becomes a reality. As the author rose through the ranks, his memories paint a picture of a changing organisation and a changing Ireland, recounting his involvement with Presidency of Eamon De Valera and the visit of Pope John Paul in 1979. This is a book that tells the story of one man’s life within the Irish Scouts, but in the memories he evokes and the scenes he recaptures, this is a book about a simpler time of which we were all a part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32029454205011,"sku":"9781845887339","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781845887339_9c439da4-9aea-4a96-be2b-8a201db21ea3.jpg?v=1778577372","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/this-scouting-life-a-memoir-of-a-simpler-time","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
