Baden-Powell, in his first ever Camp Fire Yarn in Part I of Scouting for Boys wrote about the Mafeking Cadets, he told his Scouts that if they wanted to learn more about the Siege they could do no better than to read this book. He himself never published a narrative of the Siege, perhaps the most famous conflict in the 2nd Boer War, and and so being aware as he was of all over published accounts of the Siege his nomination of this account is a worthy tribute. It was because of his fame as the Hero of Mafeking that B-P was able to commend sufficient respect and backing to be able form the world's greatest youth movement. | Baden-Powell, in his first ever Camp Fire Yarn in Part I of Scouting for Boys wrote about the Mafeking Cadets, he told his Scouts that if they wanted to learn more about the Siege they could do no better than to read this book.
