New Edition of Scont Handbook
LIVE A LITTLE
Will Bo Avaitablo About Sopt 1
One of the Nation’s ailtlme
best sellers Is being published
this tell In a new edition.
Effective September 1, the
more than 6-1/2 million youth
and adult members of the Boy
Scouts of America will have a
new handbook, used by all Scouts
as a manual for advancement
and reference, according to
Herb McCogglns, Scout Execu-
tive of the Gulf Coast Council.
Since its first edition back in
1911, the Scout Handbook has
sold over 16 million copies,
which guarantees it a place in
publishing history alongside the
Bible and other best sellers.
Over 90 million Americans have
been enrolled in Scouting since
1910. Among the better known
former owners of the Scout
Handbook were President John
F. Kennedy, Astronaut Nell
Armstrong, Walter Cronkite,
Frank Blair, Ossie Nelson, Jack
Anderson and Dr. Ralph Buncbe.
The new edition reprints none
of the material In the old hand-
book. It’s a complete over-
haul, designed to Introduce the
changes in Scouting that go into
effect on Sept. 1. For the past
4 years, individuals and nat-
ional committees havebeen
planning changes to make Scout-
ing more responsive to the
needs of today’s youth. Sur-
veys and field studies have told
the BSA what was needed and
the new program was built a-
round survey input from boys
themselves. They’ll get more
leadership training, greater
voice in planning and decision
making, alternate routes to
higher rank, team sports and
relaxed uniform options.
Gone from the handbook are
such outdated skills as track-
ing, stalking, and signaling. In-
stead, Scouts will have to be-
come more skilled in personal
communications, learn about
drug abuse, indoor cooking, and
other more relevant personal
skills. They’ll still have the
old standbys, such as hiking and
camping, but greater emphasis
is being placed on ecological
and environmental factors.
Tree, shrub, and animal ident-
ification in each environment
are included in the new book.
A city boy will no longer be
mystified by a requirement to
identify rattlesnakes and con-
dors; now he will learn about
cockroaches and pigeons. First
aid requirements haven’t varied

the first day of school beginning were Linda and
James Heflin. Linda, a fourth grader was ajl smiles
and happy to start school while her older brother,
James didn’t care for the whole thing. Aransas Pass

the 1971-78 term. The youngsters are the children of
Mr. and Mrs. Don Heflin.

much In the new book, but illus-
trations are more relevant.
Treating snakebites is still
there, but urbanScouts can zero
in ona more relevant problem-
rat bites.
One of tbe new skill awards
is in the area of Community
Living. Scouts are taught all
about public utilities, ethnic
groups, government taxes, vol-
unteer service, and other facts
of life In rural and urban
America.
The Scout Oath and Law re-
main the same, but the ex-
planations are greatly simpli-
fied. (Example: The old hand-
book told Scouts that they
shouldn’t “wantonly” destroy
property..and how many Scouts
use the word “wantonly” in
their everyday speech!). The
first printing of the new 8th
edition is 1-1/2 million copies.
Copies will be sold through de-
partment stores, Scout distrib-
utors, and local council service
centers. Cost is $1.60.
Intoxicating beverages.
In the traffic department, the
following tickets were issued:
one for driving without a
license; one for driving at an
unsafe speed; one for making
an improper turn and three for
speeding.
