1960s Boy Scout Handbook

Last night, I was going through my bookcase and came upon my Boy Scout Handbook.

Some months ago, some friends and I on Facebook had a discussion on Boy Scout Handbooks and how they've changed over the years. Old editions are collectors' items today.

I was fortunate enough to get an edition with a Norman Rockwell painted cover. It is in pretty decent shape (surprisingly), considering that it is over 50 years old (circa 1965) and it went with me on campouts!

And, as it turns out, the last photo of 2016!

Here I am with the Handbook:
