Product Description

Over 431 million copies of the Official Handbook for Boys have been distributed since this first edition was published in 1911. The original Boy Scout Handbook standardized American scouting and emphasized the virtues and qualifications for scouting, delineating what the American Boy Scouts declared was needed to be a "well-developed, well-informed boy." The book includes information on the organization of scouting, signs and signaling, camping, scouting games, and a description of several scouting honors. Scouts past and present will be fascinated to see how scouting has changed in the ensuing years, and how it has stayed the same.

Second Best Seller to the Bible..Nothing Else to Say!5
This best seller needs no explanation as to why it has sold second only to the Bible. God is first Baden Powell follows. Remember this book has been read by Presidents, heroes, scientists, teachers, etc. Why not you...

Great book5
This book is essential for everyone...not just boyscouts or boys even, it is full of practical advice on just about everything- safty, tons of fun activities, being a good person, etc. an excellent book that keeps everyone from being 'bored' and encorages kids to make up their own fun. definatly worthwhile.

The Founding Document(s)5
It's nice to be able to purchase a copy of the original Boy Scout Handbook.

It's of great value to see where the scouting movement began ... where it's roots are. It's also amusing to see how medical information has changed in the last 90+ years.

It's a great resource for many things that are not in the current Boy Scout Handbook. A great reference book!
