本文通过分析英国童子军运动及其在二十世纪上半叶的活动，探讨了针对青年的非正式公民培训以及教育的历史地理。在此过程中，它强调了青年公民身份的复杂性以及公民社会中非学校空间对于我们理解年轻人作为公民主体的定位的重要性。根据档案研究，我展示了如何通过童子军运动构建和维护特定的青年公民项目。我认为，设想“公民童子军”和培养有责任、自我调节的个人以及更广泛的英国青年集体团体涉及各种流程、战略和法规。这一分析涉及关于公民身份、国家地位和青年的更广泛的辩论，并强调公民教育的历史地理学如何成为地理学家的一个重要研究领域。
This paper examines informal citizenship training for youth and the historical geographies of education over time through analysing the Scout Movement in Britain and its activities in the first half of the twentieth century. In doing so, it highlights the complexity of youth citizenship and the significance of non‐school spaces in civil society to our understandings of young people’s positioning as citizen‐subjects. Drawing on archival research, I demonstrate how a specific youth citizenship project was constructed and maintained through the Scout Movement. I argue that various processes, strategies and regulations were involved in envisioning ‘citizen‐scout’ and developing both duty‐bound, self‐regulated individuals as well as a wider collective body of British youth. This analysis speaks to broader debates on citizenship, nationhood and youth, as well as highlighting how the historical geographies of citizenship education are an important area of study for geographers.
