Not good enough! January 29, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a boy scout 30 years ago and loved my scout manual. I don't think this comes even close. Too much fluffy nonsense. There aren't enough pages dedicated to outdoorsmanship. Not enough knot making and trapping in the wild. I can't find the instructions for learning Morse Code, how insane is that.

I am purchasing 7 of the new Handbooks to present to my second year Webelos as they cross into Boy Scouting. I find this edition interesting to read and I'm sure the new Scouts will utilize the many new skills they learn from this manual.
