The debut album from Scouting for Girls is self-titled, and has sold over 700,000 copies. It reached number 1 in the UK on 20 January 2008, where it remained for two weeks. The name Scouting for Girls is a play on the words of the Scouting for Boys handbook first published in 1908 for the Scouts, which provides boys instructions on good citizenship.
