This book explores the prevailing role of rites of passage, ritual,
and ceremony in contemporary children's lives through the lens of
modern-day incarnations of uniformed youth movements. It focuses on
the socialising ritual and customary practices of present-day
grass-roots Scout and Guide groups, asking how Britain's largest
and best-known uniformed youth organisations employ ritualised
activities to express their values to their young members through
language and gesture, story and song, dress, and physical
artifacts. The author shows that these practices exist against a
backdrop of culturally-constructed beliefs about what constitutes
the 'good child' and 'good childhood' in twenty-first century
Britain, with in-movement practices intended to help children
develop positively and prepare for social life. The book draws on
case study accounts of group performances, incorporating the voices
of children and adults reflecting on their practices and
experiences.
