Boy Scouts of America
This book is essential for everyone...not just boyscouts or boys even, it is full of practical advice on just about everything...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.
