The Nowhere Men

A good insight into the life of British scouts and the evolution of scouting on the island. The book can be meandering at times, and suffers a little from a lack of editing. I thijo Calvin wanted to include a lot of personal stories about people who are often unacknowledged and forgotten, which is admirable, but detracts a little from the flow and readability of the book. It would have been interesting to see a contrast between scouting in the UK VS other top European and South American leagues, but I can understand that the research and resources involved in doing that might be challenging.
