Talk: The Titanic, the Boy Scouts and Edwardian youth

Wed, 30 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT

Founded in 1907, the Boy Scouts soon became the biggest youth movement in Britain – as they are to this day. Influenced by the eccentric personality of founder Lord Baden-Powell, scouting was coloured by ideas of chivalry, a love of nature born of folk craft and a frontier evocation of Empire and British nationalism. It was little surprise that an event of the magnitude of the sinking of the Titanic caught the imagination of the organisation and even became the subject of a campfire song. This lecture by social historian Dr Sam Pryke will explore the rise of the early scout movement and specifically how the Titanic was covered in the two Scout publications of the day: ‘The Scout’ and ‘Headquarters Gazette’.
This talk is part of the Spring 2012 Public Lecture Series organised by Continuing Education (History) at the University of Liverpool and Merseyside Maritime Museum.
