Follow a lost Scout searching for his troop and a bowl of cobbler through 11 madcap tales, crazy full-color illustrations, exclusive tips from Sir Nuttbucket (bet you've never heard of the Hienrick Maneuver!), and fake "Boys' Life" classified ads.
Tale titles are: The Scout Who Bought a Snipe; I Pledge Allegiance to Everything I've Ever Heard; Road Kill, Hold the Cheese; My Brother Burrnie; The Pampered Scout; The Troop Bus That Couldn't and Didn't Want To; The Granny Knot; A Scout is Also Resourceful; The Tenderfoot Who Hiked Up a Hill and Slid Down a Bad Cobbler; The Scout Who Always Got Car Sick; and Highway Adventure.
Plus there's: The Handbook Part, Extra Bonus Filler, Madcap Scouts' Classified Ads, and a Trading Post order form featuring collectable patches and postcards that go along with the book. "Burnt Wiener Cooking Award" candidates--are you paying attention!?
The author, Sir Nuttbucket (who bears a great deal of resemblance to the illustrator), has vast Scouting experience including: Webelos, Pinewood Derby winner, Senior Patrol Leader, youth escort to Green Bar Bill, yellow snow maker, Council SPL for Peterloon (a big deal in Dan Beard Council), 3 years Summer Camp staff, 2 National Jamborees, 2 Philmont Treks, Seven 50-Milers (backpacking), Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor, Scout Master, OA ceremony team, Vigil Chief, and being rescued by helicopter in the wilderness of Wyoming---oops. He understands that in the process of guiding boys to become responsible young men, madcap stuff just happens---and it's best to have a sense of humor about it.
This zany book is a tribute to the funny side of Scouting and a perfect gift for Scouts and Scouters alike.
