Published by the Boy Scouts of America, this ninth edition handbook served as the definitive guide for youth involved in scouting during the late 1970s and 1980s. Written by the legendary scouter William Hillcourt, it instructed generations of boys in outdoor survival, first aid, citizenship, and character development. These vintage instructional manuals are heavily collected today by nostalgia enthusiasts, former scouts, and Americana collectors. This is the Ninth Edition of the Official Boy Scout Handbook authored by William Hillcourt, featuring a softcover with the iconic Norman Rockwell illustration on the cover depicting scouts camping and building. Bold blue and red typography dominates the top half of the cover alongside the gold Boy Scouts of America emblem.
