Scouting has been in existence since 1907, offering children & young adults over 100 years of adventure, Jamborees, summer camps, badges, scarves & gang shows. The collection of the badges has always been the backbone of the movement, & back in 1914 a book was published that gathered together all of the legendary badges & gave instruction on how to pass them. This is a celebratory edition of that 1914 classic, showing how this much-loved institution has grown & evolved. This truly fascinating book was the official manual used by Scouts to learn these subjects, & by Scout leaders to teach them. This is an authentic dangerous book for boys & takes us back to a distant time before TVs & home computers, when children were encouraged to be active & to 'get out into the open air' whenever they could; a time when it was important to be able to make things &, when they broke, repair them. It is a fascinating historical document that also reveals the morality of an era when readers were entreated to be 'clean in thought, word & deed', & 'refrain from spitting in omnibuses.' ...
