First published in 1914, the Handbook for Scout Masters was the foremost compendium on leading and guiding a Boy Scout troop. Here, word for word, you can read all about just what it took to be a Scout Master, with a focus on the boys themselves. After all, the Boy Scouts’ main purpose was “not to exploit methods, not glorify movements . . . but to lead boys into useful lives” (from the Introduction).
Chapters from this classic, standard handbook include:
- Scout Requirements
- Principles and Methods
- Troop and Patrol Management
- Drills and Demonstrations
- Chivalry and Morality
- And more!
