Introduction. The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) recognized from its founding the value of a comprehensive handbook for its members, publishing its first permanent Handbook in August, 1. Even during the year it took to standardize the American program, the BSA hurriedly printed a temporary handbook, combining Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton's Birch- Bark Roll and Baden- Powell's Scouting for Boys. Since 1. 91. 0, the BSA has published this one temporary Handbook edition (which they call the Original Edition) and twelve permanent Handbook editions.
The Handbook has changed greatly since 1. It is fascinating to examine the similarities and differences among the editions, what made each edition unique, and the trends that developed over the Handbook's history. This fifth edition of the Handbook's story has been revised to add the BSA's new Thirteenth Edition, released in January 2. If you find any errors or have suggestions to improve this study, or if you'd like to share Scouting ideas, I'd like to hear from you.
Please send me an e- mail! Terminology. In this study, the term "BSA" stands for Boy Scouts of America and refers either to the organization's national headquarters or to its national staff. The term "Handbook" (with a capital 'H') always refers to the Boy Scout Handbook. Titles and Authors. Boy Scout Handbooks often had three different titles: one on the title page, another on the cover, and yet another on the spine.
Usually, the wording on the title page shows the most complete and accurate title, and that is the title used in this study. Until 1. 95. 9, the Handbooks used some variation of the title Handbook for Boys.
Since then, they have used some variation of the title Boy Scout Handbook. Before 1. 95. 9, each section of the Handbook was written by an expert in that field, sometimes a BSA employee and sometimes an outside expert. Experts also contributed chapters to the Original Edition, though Seton and Baden- Powell wrote most of it.) A BSA editorial committee maintained full control over content and direction of all the permanent Handbooks, although this control was generally minimal and often careless through the first four editions (frequently allowing errors to go undetected for many years and sometimes allowing the contents of one section to contradict the contents of another section). Since 1. 95. 9, a single author has written each Handbook (William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt and Robert Birkby each wrote three Editions). Editions. Defining "edition" is not as easy as it might seem.
You'd think a new edition would differ from a previous edition in major ways. But the BSA has changed editions three times without rewriting the Handbook. And sometimes, there have been greater changes between successive printings of the same edition than between two editions. The BSA says that, "Except for the first and second editions, changes in the requirements for advancement have been the primary reasons for changes in the editions of the Handbook." But advancement changes often produced only minor modifications. More recently, BSA practice has been to revise the Handbook about "every eight or nine years to include the latest information about Scouting and outdoor adventures."As a result, the Handbook consists of only eleven truly different manuals divided into an Original Edition and thirteen permanent editions: Original Edition—A Handbook of Woodcraft, Scouting, and Life- craft. Editions—The Official Handbook for Boys.
Editions—Revised Handbook for Boys. Edition—Handbook for Boys. Editions—Boy Scout Handbook. Edition—Scout Handbook. Edition—Official Boy Scout Handbook.
Edition—Boy Scout Handbook [the first "repeat" title]1. Edition—Boy Scout Handbook. Edition—Boy Scout Handbook. Edition—Boy Scout Handbook. Distinguishing Early Editions. There are special problems in trying to distinguish the 1st through 4th Editions, because the BSA did not adopt the current system of edition numbering until 1. At that time, they could have saved a lot of confusion by calling the new 1.
Handbook the 3rd Edition. Instead, they chose to call it the 5th Edition, even though the BSA had published only two truly different Handbooks prior to it. From 1. 91. 1 to 1. Handbook was entitled The Official Handbook for Boys, with printings numbered consecutively from 1 to 3. From 1. 92. 7 to 1. Revised Handbook for Boys (most printings were confusingly entitled Revised Handbook for Boys, First Edition), with printings numbered from 1 to 3. Yet in 1. 94. 8, the BSA retroactively divided these two manuals into four editions, and BSA records are unclear as to exactly where they intended to divide the first four editions.
As a result, neither collectors nor the BSA are sure where to divide the early editions. Most collectors agree that the "Second Edition" begins with the 1. Revised Edition". Everyone agrees that the 1.
Handbook starts a new edition. And most collectors agree that the "Fourth Edition" begins with the 3. Although BSA for many years split the first four editions differently, today's BSA publications put the splits where most collectors put them: 1st Edition—The Official Handbook for Boys, printings 1- 1. Edition—The Official Handbook for Boys, printings 1. Edition—Revised Handbook for Boys, printings 1- 3.
Edition—Revised Handbook for Boys, printings 3. Printings"Printing" refers to each separate printing run. This is not always as obvious as it sounds, since the BSA did not carefully identify early printings, sometimes called a printing a "reprint" of a previous printing, and called most early printings "editions." Especially in the Handbook's early years, there are frequent variations within a printing run, sometimes due to printer errors affecting only part of the run, sometimes due to last- minute corrections not made in all copies, and sometimes due to the fact that ads did not always appear in the full run. As a result, collectors often identify several variants for many printings.
Because of poor record keeping in the early years, and frequent printing overruns, nobody knows exactly how many Handbooks have been printed. Most of the Handbooks include a line showing a grand total of all the Handbooks printed since 1.
One adjustment never reflected in other official BSA printing records was the addition of 7. Handbook. There have been close to 1. Handbook editions. Until 1. 93. 8, most printings were about 1. Since 1. 93. 8, only one printing has been less than 2. The smallest printing run was only 5. December, 1. 91. 1).
The record for the largest single printing is 1. June, 1. 97. 2, the first printing of the 8th Edition). The edition with the most copies in print is the 5th (6. Editions have a combined total of 8. Editions (considered a single edition by some) have a combined total of 7. The editions with the fewest copies in print are the Original (6. Materials. The vast majority of Handbook copies are soft cover, though most printings have included a small number of hardcover copies.
Covers are usually heavy paper, though leather, vinyl, and oilcloth have been used, generally on limited- run books. Pages have always been some shade of off- white, and the typeface has usually been printed in black ink (except the 3rd Edition, which was printed entirely in green ink).
Bindings. Until about 1. Handbooks were bound using stitched signatures (the way most hardcover books are bound). Starting with the late printings of the 7th Edition (about 1. BSA has used the cheaper "perfect" binding, where each page is glued directly to the spine (like a pad of paper). As a result, modern Handbooks fall apart all too readily, given the rugged use most Scouts put them to. In recent years, a very practical, coil- bound version of the Handbook has been available, but at a much higher price.
Cover Art. Since 1. Handbooks have had 1. Only three covers were not full color (Original, 1st, and early 8th Editions). Only two artists have contributed more than one cover.
Don Ross (former BSA art director) painted both covers for the 5th Edition. Norman Rockwell painted the covers for the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 9th Editions.
Interestingly, of the four Rockwell paintings, only the 6th Edition figure was specifically painted to be a Handbook cover; the other three were Brown & Bigelow annual Scout calendar pictures (Rockwell got his start working for Boys Life magazine). All cover variants are included with the description for each Handbook Edition.
I have not attempted to cover special commemorative editions or hardcover editions, but rather the standard softcover handbooks used by the Scouts. Advertising. From 1. BSA subsidized the cost of producing the Handbook by selling commercial advertising space in the Handbook. Since 1. 96. 4, only the 1. Edition have contained ads.
Advertised products naturally have included camping- related equipment and food, sports equipment (from helmets to athletic supporters), and clothing (including shoes, sneakers, socks, and underwear). Foods have included chewing gum, sardines, Coca Cola, pancakes, shredded wheat, Lifesavers, chocolate, baking powder, baked beans, bouillon cubes, and dates. By far the most ads are for rifles and ammunition. Other promoted products have included outboard motors, cameras, bicycles and motor scooters, toy trains, watches, 3- in- One oil, Mercurochrome, and musical instruments.
