The present book is the very first American scout manual, published in 1910 by Ernest Thompson Seton (the \u003cem\u003eOriginal Edition\u003c\/em\u003e Boy Scout Handbook). One year later in 1911, the Boy Scouts National Council approved the publication of an entirely different official handbook with all new content, the \u003cem\u003eFirst Edition\u003c\/em\u003e Boy Scout Handbook, with no official single author. This is one case in which the words \"original\" and \"first\" do not mean the same thing \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Original 1910 Handbook provides instruction on boy scout badges, tests, and activities as suggested by Seton from BP's Scouting for Boys book, but were not yet official with the organization. Additionally, the book provided instruction on Seton's primary interests in camping and outdoors skills, first aid, swimming, nature lore, animal tracking and identification, archery, fire starting, cooking, citizenship, and patriotism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the scouting principles and ideals as they were published at the birth of the organization in 1910  Although the times have changed and some of the material has become outdated since its publication, see how boy scouts were instrumental in early 1900s history and how they pushed forward with determination and great skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes a perfect gift for Eagle Scouts and scout leaders or scout masters  Being full of classic outdoors skills and information, it is also a great book for outdoorspeople, campers, backpackers, bushcrafters, and outdoors historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA part of the Library of American Outdoors Classics: Volume 7\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Doublebit Legacy Edition reprint of \u003cem\u003eThe Boy Scouts Original 1910 Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e is professionally restored and presented from the original source with the highest degree of fidelity possible.
