"Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt was the dedication theme & cover story for issue # 2 of Scouter's Journal Magazine. A friend and contemporary of Baden-Powell, Hillcourt later collaborated with his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell in writing the definitive Biography of Scouting's founder. Hillcourt was a young staff member who came to America and worked in the early days of the B.S.A. as a trusted advisor and staffer who worked along side the likes of James West, Ernest Thompson Seton, and Daniel Carter Beard. Readers of Boy's Life for decades read with delight the monthly "Green Bar Bill" articles which taught millions the art of Scoutcraft.
