The Original 1911 handbook version that started it all!
Enjoy this high-quality Doublebit Legacy reprint of the first 1911 edition of the Scout Handbook For Boys. This was the first “official” handbook issued for scouts in the U.S.A. Featuring instruction in outdoors life, woodcraft, campcraft, and a scout’s lifestyle, this classic text is foundational for outdoors youth programs in America.
Includes the following main topics: (1) scoutcraft, knots, and badge requirements for 1911; (2) woodcraft and nature lore; (3) campcraft, camping, and equipment; (4) tracking, trailing, and signaling; (4) healthy lifestyle and exercise; (5) chivalry; (6) first aid and lifesaving; (7) games and outdoors adventure; (8) patriotism and citizenship; (9) scout equipment; and (10) book lists for topics of interest to scouts. It also includes all the classic advertisements of the day!
Inspired by an “unofficial” preceding handbook written by Ernest Thompson Seton and Lord Robert Baden-Powell in 1910, this version of the scout handbook is the first “official” version that scouts used during the birth of boy scout programs in the U.S.A. Learn how to make a bow for shooting arrows, make a fire or tent from scratch, identify plants and animals, or find your way in the wilderness with the timeless tips in this book!
This classic book makes a perfect gift for scouts or scout leaders, or any outdoors enthusiast who wants to master the skills of the outdoors and woodcraft!
