Original early-edition Boy Scouts of America Handbook for Boys, the foundational manual that shaped scouting in the United States. These early handbooks are widely collected for their historical illustrations, outdoor skills, and early BSA organizational history.
This copy shows heavy wear, including spine loss, cover separation, edge wear, and overall age-related distress consistent with a well-used handbook from the early 20th century. Despite the condition, the cover art remains visible, featuring the iconic Boy Scout profile illustration. Back cover also present, though worn.
