Official Handbook for Boys - 1911 Boy Scout Paperback

Before GPS, there was the Official Handbook for Boys. This paperback facsimile reproduces the very first Boy Scout Handbook from 1911, the book that standardized American scouting and went on to sell over 31 million copies.

Inside: the origins of scouting, how to identify everything from toadstools to birds, and advice on setting up a proper camp or building a log cabin. Former scouts, current dads, and outdoorsy readers will happily compare notes on what has changed and what hasn't.
