THE HANDBOOK FOR BOYS GREATLY IMPROVED
One thing every boy wants to own—
the HANDBOOK FOR BOYS! Opening
the way to a new world of courage and
high ideals for hundreds of thousands
of boys. The HANDBOOK is Scouting's
voice and spirit blazing the trail to new
adventures in pioneering, woodlore,
handicraft, hiking, camping and com-
radeship. The new printing is ready to
go! Completely improved, easier to
read, more forceful and interesting
than ever before—clear reading new
type throughout, fine quality white
stock, striking Rockwell cover design,
a great deal of revitalized material
and many new illustrations are the out-
standing features which herald a smash-
ing success.
A compelling 16 page insert in brilliant
full-color is something entirely new and
lends powerful dramatic emphasis to
the presentation of Official Badges.
The insert contains all Merit Badges
vividly displayed, a double-page spread
on the correct wearing of Official
Badges and Insignia and a page de-
voted to the Flag Code.
The improved HANDBOOK does not
make obsolete any previous issue but
presents the same thrilk'ng subjects and
outdoor experiences in more readable
form. Every boy should have a copy of
this real boys' book—full of the things
boys want to do—and back of it all
the true Scouting theme of doing things
for others constantly in view. Have your
Scouts get the improved version of the
HANDBOOK . . . the color insert will
be a strong factor in correct wearing
of the Official Uniform and Official
Badges and Insignia—and it will also
bring Scouting's appeal closer to the
hearts of boys who hope to become
Scouts.
