Speiding for gutter eller Speiding: håndbok for oppøving i god samfunnsånd gjennom friluftsliv er den første boka om speiderbevegelsen, og blant de ti mest solgte bøkene[1]. Den ble utgitt i 1908, og ble skrevet og illustrert av Robert Baden-Powell. Boka kom ut i seks deler, og én del kom ut hver 14. dag, fra januar til mars 1908[2].
Videre historie
Boka var en stor suksess, og Baden-Powell oppførte et sentralspeiderkontor hvor de som ville bli speidere kunne registrere seg. På slutten av 1908 var det 60 000 speidere, og bevegelsen begynte å spire rundt omkring i det britiske samveldet. Det første nasjonale speidermøtet fant sted i september 1909 i Crystal Palace i London, og omkring 10 000 speidere møte opp. Blant disse var også en gruppe jenter som kalte seg for «the Girl Scouts» [3] (jentespeiderne). Disse ble en egen gruppe i 1910.
