1943 BOY SCOUTS Official Handbook America Youth Manual Military WWII Illustrated
“On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty To God and my country” (Boy Scouts of America)
This rare 1943 edition was the first major rewrite of the “Handbook for Boys’. Printed in the middle of WWII, this edition includes recommendations for military drills along with advertisements and illustrations throughout.
“It could be called the first modern Handbook and does not differ too much in layout or content from recent editions, except for the lack of color printing. The early printings are the only Handbooks ever to discuss and recommend military drill for Scouts. Scouts of this period were supposed to learn 17 individual commands and 25 patrol and troop movements, all of which were deemed essential to good order, not only during meetings and in parades, but even on hikes.” (Snowden).
