Marching for hours, singing for days, and playing  `Bulldog's Charge' at every opportunity. This Scouting Life is a story about the experiences shared by millions of people worldwide, and in communities all across Ireland. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.","brand":"Raeside, Archie","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42044026978489,"sku":"9781845887339","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/raeside-archie-archie-raeside-this-scouting-life-2012-paperback-9781845887339-1159368040.jpg?v=1745783371","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/scouting-life-pb-z90","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
