When the author joined Scouts at age twelve, who could have imagined that it would lead to a commitment of more than forty years? 

This inspirational memoir contains stories and anecdotes. The old-time photographs (taken long before iPhones) are particularly interesting and will certainly bring smiles to the faces of readers. They also provide a glimpse into and a record of local history. The author’s love of adventure, of Australia, and of scouting is tangible in this heartfelt book. The author has been a powerful influence through his support of community with his special emphasis on youth work.

Along with his personal letters and memories, the book describes the beautiful and often rugged countryside of Australia. Chapters include tales of camping, awards received, and his fond recollections of rallies and balls. Known for both his impressive achievements as well as his immensely kind demeanor, Graeme Legge is a clear legend in the world of scouting. The author’s hope is that this inspirational book will spur future generations to get involved with scouting in Australia and elsewhere.
