The Handbook for Boys

October 6, 2009
Andy Duprey, Scoutmaster

First published in 1910 the handbook has been the guide for innumerable scouts

Here is the 1933 edition from which we read...

Here is the 1910 edition of the "Hand book for boys"

The 1963 edition

The 2005 edition

And the 2009 edition

From first aid to star charts; from cooking to setting the pace; the handbook, combined with the field manual has consistently met the needs of generations of boys as they walk the trail to Eagle.

The new edition of the Boys Scout Handbook is as chock full of useful information as each of the previous edictions, with new, handy organizers for each of you to use.

I encourage each of you, to read your handbook from cover to cover. Over the next several weeks you will have opportunities to answers questions from your handbook, so read on.

Thank you and good night scouts.
