1910 Boy Scout Handbook on DVD
The first Official Handbook, subtitled A Handbook of Woodcraft, Scouting, and Life-craft was first published in July 1910. It was written
by Ernest Seton and drew greatly on Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys, it included information on the organization of Scouting, signs and
signaling, and camping, as well as Scouting games and a description of several Scouting honours. Notably, this book did not place emphasis
on first aid, knife and axe use, or map and compass work, as later editions would. Because this edition of was intended solely as a
temporary guide until an authoritative handbook could be made, it is now known as the 1910 Original Edition Handbook. The cover art was an
illustration by Baden-Powell. There were about 28,000 copies printed.
This DVD is an affordable archive of The Boy Scout Handbook. It is a descendant of Baden-Powell's original handbook, Scouting for
Boys, which has been the basis for Scout handbooks in many countries, with some variations to the text of the book depending on each
country's codes and customs. We have also included a total of twenty-nine {29} vintage handbooks, the complete twelve [12} issue set of 1911 Boys Life Magazine and a wonderful selection of thirty {30} vintage
novels based on early scouting life!

In 1911, George S. Barton, of Somerville, Massachusetts, founded, and published the first edition of Boys' Life magazine. It was edited by
18-year old Joe Lane of Providence, Rhode Island.He called it Boys' and Boy Scouts' Magazine. The first issue of Barton's Boys' Life was
published on January 1, 1911. Five thousand copies were printed of that first issue. Very few of those copies actually reached the public.
The widely accepted first edition was published on March 1, 1911. With this issue, the magazine was expanded from eight to 48 pages, the
page size was reduced, and a two-color cover was added. In 1912, the Boy Scouts of America purchased the magazine, making it an official BSA
magazine. BSA paid $6,000, $1 per subscriber, for the magazine.
