Last week we told you about the new Boy Scout Handbook , available now online or at your local Scout Shop. We detailed the new book's firm embrace of the Internet to provide Scouts with extra resources and interactivity beyond what's in the 480-page book.
Picked up the 12th edition this week. Here's some observations having skimmed through it. Negatives : The book is 1/2 inch shorter than the previous. This just means I've got a floppy black book cover on it now. The back cover used to have three words - Character, Citizenship, Fitness - and I'd often use that when talking…
The Centennial Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook unveiled by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) prepares the 21st century Scout for new technology while celebrating the organization's rich heritage. The 475-page paperback features nostalgic illustrations from the previous 11 editions alongside references to emerging technology and expanded online information.
Here's a book that should be at the top of your summer reading list. No, it's not the latest legal thriller by John Grisham or romance novel from Danielle Steel. It's the new Boy Scout Handbook , and it's available now.
After some speculation about the new 12th Edition handbook and its various versions , a helpful comment has cleared up the questions. Nathan, a BSA national scout shop employee, who has seen the "shrink wrapped" books, left a comment on the original Scouting News post .
We reported back in May about a possible new cover for the 12th Edition handbook , however now other designs are appearing. Advertisements for the new handbook show a similiar but slightly modified cover. Instead of the "old fashion" Scout in the corner, there is now an Eagle.
13 Vote On Idea With all the advancements in technology and the internet I think it would be a great time for an interactive Boy Scout Handbook. I am not suggesting that we do away with the printed version of the handbook, but supplementing and enhancing it with a web based interactive version.
Last year it was announced a North Carolina advertising agency, Enventys, had landed a contract with the Boy Scouts of America to redesign the Boy Scout Handbook. Enventys is a Charlotte based product development and creative-marketing company, which was founded in 2001.
If your pack is like mine in presenting a new Boy Scout Handbook to the fifth-grade Webelos Scouts at your pack graduation ceremony , you will have a pretty cool-looking book to give them in 2010. This is the cover of the upcoming Centennial (12th) Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook (designed by enventys ).
1 Vote On Idea National supply used to produce a leather-bound Boy Scout Handbook. I would love to see them bring it back. It makes a great recognition item. Comments (0) Category/Tags : Other (69) Mark as duplicate
2 Vote On Idea For the 100th Anniversary It would be neat to see the Boy Scout Handbook BACK on the Best Seller lists like it was back in the day...back in the Baden Powell days 'Scouting for Boys' was a best seller, and the book was a major way to recruit new boys, where…
I still had my copy of the Boy Scout Handbook I used as a youth when I became an assistant scoutmaster in 1980. I bought a new handbook so I would be current, and picked up a scoutmaster handbook so I would have an idea what I should be doing.
