Boy Scout Official Handbook for Boys

What we love:
This paperback reproduction from 1911 is from the first American Boy Scout Handbook. This book standardized American scouting and emphasized the virtues and qualifications for scouting. Over 31 million copies of the Official Handbook for Boys have been distributed since its first publication. The book includes information on the origin of scouting, notes on the identification of natural specimens, from toadstools, trees and plants, to insects, birds and fish—and advice on everything from assembling a proper camp, to building a log cabin. Scouts past and present will enjoy seeing how scouting has changed and how it has stayed the same.
