Scouting For Boys 1908 Version Legacy Edition

This deluxe, unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Robert Baden-Powell's 1908 Scouting For Boys is the very first manual for boy scouts, which kicked off the global scout movement! First published in the UK for British boy scouts, BP's handbook provides the blueprint for the first scouts and inspired scout organizations in America, Canada, and other countries across the world.

This blueprint for the Boy Scout movement not only provides energetic tips on camping, tracking, and woodcraft, but offers proper Victorian-era advice on manners, self-discipline, and good citizenship. Includes the original illustrations.

Enjoy this unabridged, high-quality Doublebit Legacy reprint of The Boy Scouts Original 1910 Handbook, which was the first temporary version of the Scout Handbook written by Ernest Thompson Seton for the Boy Scouts in the first year that the organization was founded.

This deluxe reprint Legacy Edition of Lord Robert Baden-Powell's The Canadian Boy Scout is the first 1911 version of the scout handbook for scouts in Canada. Full of knowledge and instruction on what it takes to be an effective scout in the early Canadian scout program, this book is full of tips on camping, hiking, and the Canadian wilderness.

One man started it all. In the early 1900?s, Robert Baden-Powell of England was a famous war hero. After his military service, he became even more famous as the founder of Scouting around the world.

In a celebration of the most elite Boy Scout rank, this book combines original stories from current and past Eagle Scouts, as well as information on the history of the rank, its awards, and famous Eagle Scouts.

This description is for the historically-correct 1908 Edition with the light blue cover. In May 1908, Baden-Powell released all six of his fortnightly pamphlets under the one cover as this book, Scouting For Boys. Now, for the first time, you can purchase and read the book which catapulted the Scouting movement into the hearts and minds of the public worldwide! In this new edition, there's no modern long-winded, overly-critical, politically-correct 40 page introduction by a non-Scout with a barely-concealed disdain for our beloved BP and his astounding and unequaled legacy of service to the youth of the world. On this, the 110th Anniversary of the establishment of the Scout Association, the anonymous publishers of this edition, who we might add are old Scouts themselves, have painstakingly reproduced directly from a very rare original, the 1908 first edition of Scouting For Boys so it may be presented, read and understood exactly as the Founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell of Gillwell, intended. With all original illustrations, this new paperback replica edition brings this exceptionally rare book to a 21st Century audience.
