Boy Scouts of Amer, 1992

An inspring read for Scouters and non-Scouters alike
Who would have thought that a general, who in his time achieved the same stature that Eisenhower did after World War II, would turn his attention when he was in his 50s to a completely new journey - and create a system to engage boys in purposeful fun at a time when so many were being offered only the mean streets of turn-of-the-century industrial England! Having recently returned from a trip ...

Great for the Would-Be Naturalist!
I found this book at a used book store on my 12th birthday. I was one of the better presents I've ever received.

I have LOVED and USED this book for 34 years!
I'm still using this book, and I'm 46 years old. I received it when I was 12, and found it full of wonderful, exciting adventures and activities. The 378 pages in my 1970 edition, contain activities you can do inside on a wet rainy day when you can't go outside, as well as plenty of things to do when the weather allows you to go outside. There are plenty of things for city kids, I didn't ...

I building a library of items of my past. This book was part of it. It was no longer in print so I was happy I was able to find it. IT was in really good condition considering that it was nearly 50 years old.
