Boy Scout Handbook - 12th Edition Author:Boy Scouts of America From the Chief Scout Executive: — In some ways, my first Boy Scout Handbook was much different from the book you're holding now. In the front were instructions for flying the 48-star United States flag, which didn't yet include Alaska and Hawaii. In the back were requirements for merit badges like Pigeon Raising and Sign... more »aling, and advertisements for official Boy Scout shoes.
But like this centennial edition Handbook, that old Scout manual promised me fun, adventure, leadership, and service. And boy did it deliver.
The pages of this book, your own Boy Scout Handbook, offer those same adventures to you. I wish you a lifetime of watching them unfold.
