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.

In the end you find no one wins, and the race was only with yourself.
One of the local boyscout troops held a trebuchet contest last year. That was fun. They hurled pumpkins.
If we are to have another contest in…our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other…

Surviving a temporary situation where you're lost in the wilderness
Only if they saw you launching a couple of the neighborhood kids.i live in the suburbs. i wonder what my neighbors would think if they saw us building a catapult in the backyard
Thanks! There's some good stuff in there. Brings back BSA memories from the 20th century when I was a kid.
Saepe veritas est dura.
(Often the truth is harsh.)
Ah, scrapple. I remember eating pon haus as a kid; fried with maple syrup, yum-yum.

Boy Scout Manuals....Old
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.
Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.
The 1943 edition was real heavy on patriot saying, flags, poems, songs.....probably all politically incorrect these days.

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......
