The Boy Scouts of America was founded over a hundred years ago to serve the young men of the United States of America and give them the same opportunities that Boy Scouts all over the world were receiving. Modeled after Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys, the Boy Scouts Handbook of the Boy Scouts of America gave the original American Boy Scouts a taste of adventure, excitement, and values for them to use for the rest of their life, and is still good reading for the modern age.

Used for tying silk-worm gut for fishing purposes. It never slips; is easily unloosed by pulling the two short ends.

A fantastic compendium for boys aspiring to men ... full of invaluable practical tips, traditional values and honest insights into the nature of young males that does not seek to vilify for potential fault but rather encourage towards nurturing the good.

Would that today's youth were trained in this manner. There are a few things that need updating from the 1970s version, but not many, and today's youth - today's adults even - are woefully untrained in this body of general American knowledge and in these skill-sets. Our nation would avoid many of it

The only book you ever need. Describes tracking, camping, citizenship, nature, and a slew of other things that everyone should know about.
