BSA - Outdoor Skills Manual

Need to build a catapult? A rope bridge? How about a camp chair? An automatic fire? How about making a backpack out of a pair of pants? It's all here and it's free.

Cool resource...I had that manual...Have no idea what happened to it.
Thanks

Probably got hung up in the catapult. LOL.

We never made one of those, but did the signal tower....although to this day I could never figure out why you would need a signal tower.....two maybe but one?....who are ya signaling?

Actually all the parts were cut years before, so every year (couple of years anyway)we would put it all together,.. go practice our flag signals....get the badges and then take it all apart again.....

Good stuff in there.

I love it! LOL

don't they use catapults to get rid of zuchinni?

One of the local boyscout troops held a trebuchet contest last year. That was fun. They hurled pumpkins.

Only if they saw you launching a couple of the neighborhood kids. :whistling:

Thanks! There's some good stuff in there. Brings back BSA memories from the 20th century when I was a kid.

Hunter63, saying Hey and Welcome.
There is an Intro section...


http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...-Introductions

Doing some errands today, passed a yard sale......they had a pile of old BSA manuals.

From left 1943 copyright, name in it "tenderfoot" 1947

Second one 1959....Looks just like mine that went ?????....LOL
Both marked $10 bucks, but was 1/2 price day...and got them both for $8 bucks.

The 1943 edition was real heavy on patriot saying, flags, poems, songs.....probably all politically incorrect these days.

Aw crap....I was looking for this thread, to post a couple of old manuals I found today....
http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ut-Manuals-Old

Mods if y'all want to combine them go ahead.....

Great finds. Uh, you do know that half of 10 is.....yeah, great find.

Merged.

Thanks for putting the thread where it belongs.....yeah, I know what 1/2 of $10 bucks, but doesn't stop me from trying to get them to come down more....LOL

When you posted the original thread I went looking for mine (....???)......so it must have been destiny for find one today (or two)...LOL

Looking thru these manuals, in the back are a lot od ads for all sorts or products for boys......including Savage, Marlin, and Winchester firearms.....Time have changed, I guess.

FYI found a e-book of the original 1911 manual......Check out the names on the board.....
Example the leader for Practical Citizenship....Col. Theodore Roosevelt......

Great find!! Thanks.

Just printed it. Then pinned the link on our troop website. Another great scouting book is Baden Powell's first titled "Scouting for Boys" published in 1908. Lot's of neat info and yes some not so PC stuff. Our troop is fortunate in that we try to work outside more than in. Using many of the older scout and military methods.

My friends and I got a good start in the outdoors with these manuals and time spent with some caring and dedicated leaders.
