Collecting Scouting Handbooks 1910 1911
Collecting Scouting Handbooks The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series If you are now or were ever a Scout, your first Scouting “collectible” was probably your Cub Scout or Boy Scout handbook. Since Scouting was founded in 1908 and then incorporated in the United States in 1910, there have been millions and millions of Scouting handbooks distributed. In this introductory article we will only talk about Handbooks for the Boy Scouts of America. However, if collecting printed materials from Scouting catches your interest, there are many different possibilities that a collector can consider, from both the United States and around the world. Since 1911, there have been eleven completely different editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. The following is a brief summary of each one. 1910 68,900 copies The 1910 Handbook, also referred to as the “Original Edition”, was not new material but rather a compilation of existing information from two other sources. Soon after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910, there was a huge demand for a handbook that could be used to support the efforts of the early United States Scouts. Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout of the BSA, offered to prepare a book that could be used until the first “real” handbook could be developed. He took material from Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys that had been published in England in 1908 and his own Birch Bark Roll used by the Woodcraft Indians, an earlier outdoor program youth group, and combined them to make the first Boy Scouts of America Official Handbook. -

Commissioner Service, Our First Hundred Years
COMMISSIONER SERVICE, OUR FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A research thesis submitted to the College College of Commissioner Science Longhorn Council In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree By Paul N Dreiseszun 2010 INTRODUCTION As we approach the 100th anniversary of Scouting and the Commissioner Service, we need to look back and salute those Scouters that have worn the insignia of the Commissioner. Scouting has changed in those many years. Requirements and uniforms have changed. Council structures and boundaries have been altered. But the role of the Commissioner as Scouting's conduit for unit service remains unchanged. I have been honored to serve as a Unit Commissioner, Assistant District Commissioner, and District Commissioner. My experience is that it can be the most difficult position in Scouting. But it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs in Scouting. As we reach Scouting's centennial, the Commissioner position is getting renewed emphasis and exposure. Funding for non-profits is getting harder to come by resulting in less growth of the professional staffs. The need for more volunteer Commissioners is as great or greater than any time in the past Our role in Scouting will continue to be fundamentally important for the next 100 years. As Commissioners, we must make sure that every unit is offering their boys exactly what is promised to them …, fun, excitement, adventure, and ultimately a quality experience. The Roots of Commissioner Service As Commissioners in the Boy Scouts of America, we are delegated authority and responsibility from the National Council through our "Commission" per the By Laws of the National Council. -
PART 1A. 1949-1961 CHAPTER 1. Overcome with Yellowstone Fever
1 PART 1A. 1949-1961 CHAPTER 1. Overcome with Yellowstone Fever; Preparation for a Career (1949-53) During my childhood and school years prior to college, I lived with my parents, George and Katherine, and my sister, Mary Joan (3 yrs younger), in Denver, Colorado. As a young boy, I had been to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP)(only a few hours drive from Denver) with my parents on a number of occasions. The area’s significance as a national park did not seem to be part of my parents' awareness, at least it never was expressed to me. My parents and grandparents all referred to such trips as going to "Estes," because the town of Estes Park was on the eastern border of the Park. Occasionally we went to Grand Lake, on the western border of the Park, where some relatives resided. My parents were largely urban-oriented people. Both had graduated from South High School in Denver, but the Depression precluded either from a university education. Immediately upon high school graduation (1929) my Dad went to work for the International Trust Company (a Denver bank) as a message runner. His father, Henry, was a teller at the same bank. My Dad's grandfather George Sr. had been a bank manager and the mayor in Idaho Springs, Colorado, where my Dad was born. Dad remained a bank employee until he retired in 1981. By that time, he was very upset by banking’s expansion into the stock market and other fields. He believed this was at the expense of traditional services to customers. -

There is no other way to say it: It is virtually impossible to find another Scout resident camp which, for this same fee, provides anywhere as close to the balance of: a) an active Executive Board – and friends – who are pumping an additional $1million into the property over this past year; b) 3700+ acres of varied and carefully managed terrain which contains our own six mountain peaks, four swamps, three lakes, twelve miles of roadway, over twenty miles of hiking trails all which abuts something as beautiful as the pristine Belknap State Mountain Range in the gorgeous Lakes Region of New Hampshire; c) as qualified and committed a Staff to provide both Boy Scout and Venturing programs for eight solid program weeks each summer; d) as extensive and industry-leading an adult leader development program as can be found in the entire Northeast Region during a week of summer camp; e) a challenging program waiting for all age brackets of your Unit which always has new and rotating offerings so as to keep things fresh and new while also preserving that which you need and expect; f) a camp supported by as many dedicated and untiring volunteer committees who care for its tangible and ‘unseen’ needs without hesitation. -
Hidden Valley New Birth of Freedom Council Boy Scouts of America
HIDDEN VALLEY NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CAMP STAFF GUIDE HIDDEN VALLEY STAFF GUIDE A WELCOME FROM THE COUNCIL DIRECTOR OF CAMPING Welcome to the camp staff! For those of you who are new to camp staff life, what a satisfying, formative, meaningful experience awaits you! This year, we have assembled a very well-qualified, capable and committed group of Scouts, Scouters and others from across the New Birth of Freedom Council and beyond. Upon surveying this fine group of people, one should be strongly prejudiced to believe that Hidden Valley's summer camping season this year will be its best camping season ever. Last summer, our staff and allied volunteer Scouters provided excellent camping experiences. Many people remarked that last summer was our best camping season in many years. Our challenge as a staff this year is to provide a camping opportunity that even tops that. Excellence must continue to be our watchword, as we go about our duties. We have the responsibility of making the outdoor adventure The Scout Handbook promises come brilliantly alive to each boy who passes through the main entrance to the camp. If we can work together, sharing our ideas, dreams and concerns, frankly, honestly and promptly, we'll have a superlative summer, we'll meet the challenge, and the Scouts for whose benefit we were selected will grow by leaps and bounds in character, personal fitness and cooperative, participating citizenship. Whether this season will be your first or fiftieth year in Scouting, you are about to assume a job unlike any other. -
