  • The Boy Scouts Association the Canadian General Council POLICY
    The Boy Scouts Association The Canadian General Council POLICY, ORGANIZATION AND RULES FOR CANADA This e-edition is based on the 1919 rules governing Scouting in Canada. It was originally published as part of the “Handbook for Canada”, a 600+ page comprehensive guide to the then emerging Canadian Scouting program that included information for both the leaders as well as the Scouts. The articles concerning educational and religious policies as well as the article regarding the non-military nature of the organization have been slightly edited for brevity and clarity. Page references throughout the text refer to the pages in the original paper edition and have no bearing on this e-edition. They have been replaced where possible with references to the section, subsection or other point in the text, but a complete reference correction in an illustrated book of this size is simply beyond the scope of volunteer work of which this edition is a product. As with all other historical texts, the reader should consider the customs, terminology and practices current at the time this document was originally published. The editors would like to thank Scouters Mike Maloney and Karl Pollak for their contribution in preparing this edition. First published in 1919 This e-edition prepared from the original by © 2005 The Canadian Sea Scouts Homeport http://www.seascouts.ca/ See other historical Canadian Scouting texts and program resources at The Dump: http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/ Policy, Organization and Rules for Canada POLICY, ORGANIZATION AND RULES FOR CANADA The Policy, Organization and Rules heretofore governing the work of the Boy Scouts' Association in Canada have been contained in a booklet entitled Policy, Organization and Rules for Canada, which was published in April, 1916, under the authority of the Canadian General Council and with the approval of the Committee of the British Headquarters Council.

  • Private Issue Scouting Square Knots
    Private Issue Scouting Square Knots (Experimental, Locally Authorized, Fake and Spoof) Part 4 of 5: Craig Murray and Copies of Official Knots George Crowl Changes in blue from V12.0. In 2002, Craig Murray, www.sageventure.com/store/knots.html, issued five green background knots. They are the Silver Beaver, Eagle, Scouter’s Key, Scouter’s Training Award, and Venturing Advisor’s Award of Merit. In 2003 he added a plethora of knots, including Honor Medal, Silver Buffalo, Silver Antelope, Medal of Merit, Whitney Young, Explorer Scout Ranger, Explorer Silver Award I, Hornaday Award, Arrow of Light, James E. West Award and International Scouter Award. The scarce knots have been produced in very limited quantities and are now sold out. There will be no more, because Craig was told by the BSA to cease producing them. Pictures are below. The green backgrounds are much closer to the original color than Sharif’s knots. These are excellent reproductions that can be distinguished from the originals by the twill pattern and the gauze-plastic backing. The twill runs about 90° to the BSA twill. The backing is lighter in color and plastic is more thickly applied. In addition to the green knot replicas, Craig had two of the more complex knots delivered in error, so he has made available an Eagle Scout error knot and a Hornaday Award error knot. In those knots, the knot itself is correct, but the Eagle red and white colors are reversed, and the Hornaday green and white reversed, as can be seen by comparison. The knots below are in the 1978 order of precedence for wear on the uniform (except the Arrow of Light! and with interpretation of later knots).
