The influence of Lord Robert Baden-Powell on the development of the Boy Scout Movement with observations on its operation in Queensland 1907-1937

The purpose of the Boy Scout Movement was to create boys who were honest, obedient to constituted authority and loyal to the King and the British Empire. This thesis examines the influence that Scouting's founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, had on the development of Scouting in Queensland in the period 1907 to 1937, and concludes that that influence was profound. Baden-Powell conceived the Boy Scout Movement, and its non-formal educative method as an answer to some of the social, economic, and political problems at the beginning of the twentieth century – a paradigm recognised and acknowledged by educators of the day.

Being observant and observed: embodied citizenship training in the Home Guard and the Boy Scout Movement, 1907-1945

Building upon recent studies by geographers and social scientists on the everyday practices of (scientific) observation, this paper focuses on the role of two distinct, yet similar organisations that held observation as an essential and 'automatic' embodied skill. Utilising the examples of Home Guard camouflage and the Boy Scout Movement, the paper critically examines how these organisations sought to articulate the individual as both observer and observed, thereby exposing a much more complex entanglement of different visual positions and practices hitherto neglected in studies of observation. Moreover, the paper emphasises the importance of the act of 'not-being-seen' as a complementary and fundamental aspect of (non-)observational practice, accentuated and promoted by civic institutions in terms of duty and responsibility. Finally, the paper considers the evolutionary aspects of observation through the lifecourse, revealing a complex, relational geography of expertise, experience and skill that crossed age-distinctions. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Predatory Bdellovibrio bacteria use gliding motility to scout for prey on surfaces

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a famously fast, flagellate predatory bacterium, preying upon Gram-negative bacteria in liquids; how it interacts with prey on surfaces such as in medical biofilms is unknown. Here we report that Bdellovibrio bacteria "scout" for prey bacteria on solid surfaces, using slow gliding motility that is present in flagellum-negative and pilus-negative strains.

Le chef scout canadien-français : son idéal, sa formation et sa mission dans quatre troupes d’Outremont (1935-1965)

La Fédération des scouts catholiques de la province de Québec fut fondée en 1935. Elle possédait un objectif exigeant : former des hommes, des chrétiens et des citoyens. Plus encore, elle se proposait de former des chefs aptes à influencer la société canadienne-française. Bien que chapeauté par l’Église catholique, le mouvement scout laissait aux laïcs une place prépondérante. Le scoutmestre (SM) et le chef de patrouille (CP) étaient les deux principaux chefs laïcs de la troupe scoute. Ils étaient respectivement en charge de la troupe (24 à 32 jeunes) et de la patrouille (6 à 8 jeunes). Le CP était lui-même un jeune scout. Par eux transitaient les idéaux et les systèmes de représentation inculqués aux jeunes. Ils devaient être formés adéquatement pour leur charge. Plus que de simples compétences de meneur, leur formation visait à leur transmettre un véritable rapport au monde : l’idéal du chef scout. Ce mémoire examine la méthode scoute prônée par la Fédération, tout en la nuançant avec le vécu de chefs et de jeunes scouts dans quatre troupes outremontaises. L’effet de la Révolution tranquille sur la représentation traditionnelle du chef scoute sera aussi abordé.

The influence of the scout upon the decision-making process of recruited workers in three Acromyrmex species (Formicidae : Attini)

We examined how the information communicated by a scout worker influences the plant species transported by recruited workers in Acromymex balzani, Acromyrmex rugosus, and Acromyrmex crassispinus, three species of leaf-cutting ant that have different substrate and habitat preferences. We verified that certain plant species were more likely to be transported than others and that recruitment occurs. We found that recruited workers were more likely to transport non-preferred plant species when they were recruited to these by scout workers. The results suggest that the scout worker can communicate information about plant identity to recruited workers, but that recruited workers integrate the information communicated with their own experience during the decision-making process.

Scout no futsal: o que os números mostram sobre o jogo

Nos últimos tempos o futsal tem se desenvolvido muito rapidamente, modificando seu caráter amador e aumentando o número de participantes e de país que o praticam. Essas mudanças têm causado melhoras nas ações técnicas e táticas dos jogadores, além de aumento na rapidez do raciocínio para a tomada de decisão, além da forma física (necessidade de uma capacidade aeróbica e de uma massa muscular desenvolvidas para a melhora do desempenho em quadra). Um dos responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento do futsal foram os avanços na tecnologia que através de ferramentas específicas facilitam e auxiliam na evolução da equipe no decorrer dos treinamentos e jogos. Desta forma, as equipes conseguem controlar os aspectos técnicos, táticos, físicos e psicológicos que ocorrem com a equipe, podendo obter dados quantitativos e qualitativos que ajudam a alcançar melhor performance dos atletas e da equipe. Um exemplo destas ferramentas é o “scout”, o qual se mostra um instrumento viável para uma avaliação técnica e tática de uma equipe. Através desta ferramenta pode-se avaliar detalhes importantes do jogo como o número de finalizações (eficiência do ataque), local de finalização, número de desarmes, passes certos e errados, tanto da sua equipe como também da equipe adversária. Com isso, com o auxilio do “scout” independentemente da tecnologia que se utilize, mais avançadas como softwares específicos ou menos sofisticadas como planilhas de anotações, consegue-se além de realizar uma avaliação individual da condição técnica do atleta também analisar os sistemas de defesa e ataque de uma equipe.Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi de verificar e comparar a relação de acerto e erro das ações de passe, desarme e finalização apresentado pelas equipes vencedoras e as perdedoras de partidas de futsal, vislumbrando...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
