This article aims to analyze the practice of scouting in Brazil in the early twentieth century, questioning how this method of out-of-school education was appropriated by intellectuals and political authorities for the moral, civic and physical disciplining of childhood and youth, associated at this time, the “greatness” of the nation. To achieve the proposed objective, we made a cross between the analysis of the printed sources, namely: magazines Tico-Tico and Ilustração Brasileira, laws and decrees with the contributions of authors, such as Foucault (1987), Nagle (2009), Nascimento (2004), Souza (2000, 2018), Nascimento (2008), among others. Thus, we found that in Brazil the Baden-Powell method was converted into a school of civism to shape the behavior of the future citizen of the Brazilian homeland.

Keywords : scouting; Brazil; childhood; youth.
