Synopsis

The first Handbook of the Boy Scouts of America provides an entertaining read and a fascinating insight into the world of a century ago, when a boy could obtain badges in subjects such as Inventing (Invent and Patent some useful article) and Taxidermy (Preserve and mount the skin of a game bird, or animal). This is a newly re-edited version (not a scan), complete with black and white pictures and many of the original advertisements.

About this title

About the Author:

From the preface: The Boy Scouts of America is a corporation formed by a group of men who are anxious that the boys of America should come under the influence of this movement and be built up in all that goes to make character and good citizenship. In order that the work of the boy scouts throughout America may be uniform and intelligent, the National Council has prepared its "Official Handbook," the purpose of which is to furnish to the patrols of the boy scouts advice in practical methods, as well as inspiring information."
