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 ...

Putnam, 1961

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. It inspired my love of nature and the natural world, it got me outside and made me dream of having a rock collection of my very own. I would recommend this book for children ages 10-14 and adults interested in the natural world. It would be particularly useful in conjunction ...

Norman Rockwell's World of Scouting

William Hillcourt, Norman Rockwell

Harry N Abrams, 1977

An excellent book about Norman Rockwell's support of the BSA
The book gives a brief history of Norman Rockwell's connection with Scouting and is one of the few, if not only, complete book of all of his Boy Scout works. "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt does an excellent job of telling the story and how Norman Rockwell told the Scouting Story. A must for all Scouter's libraries.

Putnam Publishing Group, 1970

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 ...
