Prewar Boy Scout Books: A Thing of Beauty
I think the laws of supply and demand really come into affect when you are talking about books that are 100 years old like these early Scout handbooks that recently sold on eBay. Just how many 1910 editions can there possibly be left in the world? Probably not enough to satisfy Scout collectors desire to have one especially since we just finished the centennial year. The other two pieces I’ve included in this post are unusual World Jamboree listings from the 1930s that are definitely worth a look.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
