This book explores the significance and meaning of the countryside
within mid-twentieth century youth movements. It examines the ways
in which the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Woodcraft Folk and Young
Farmers' Club organisations employed the countryside as a space
within which 'good citizenship' - in leisure, work, the home and
the community - could be developed. Mid-century youth movements
identified the 'problem' of modern youth as a predominantly urban
and working class issue. They held that the countryside offered an
effective antidote to these problems: being a 'good citizen' within
this context necessitated a respectful and mutually beneficial
relationship with the rural sphere. Avenues to good citizenship
could be found through an enthusiasm for outdoor recreation, the
stewardship of the countryside and work on the land. However,
models of good citizenship were intrinsically gendered.
