Episode Overview
Guided by his trusty Edwardian Bradshaw's manual, Michael Portillo embarks on a journey to Brownsea Island, the birthplace of the Scout movement founded by Robert Baden-Powell in the early 1900s. While spending time with a contemporary group of Scouts, he learns the art of constructing a bivouac and discovers the enduring charm of Scouting for youth today. In the New Forest, Michael pays tribute to the unsung equine heroes of World War I, hearing their tales from a local stable owner. Additionally, he explores the quintessentially British tradition of the beach hut in Bournemouth.
