OAbrockorama: Your concern is exactly why we must redouble our efforts in recruiting kids into Scouts and helping their experience to be both positive and fun. Make no mistake. We are working to regain our moral fabric. Always remember... The guy on the mountaintop that is pointing in the other direction while everybody else is headed opposite, is probably lonely too... and much of the populace is working against him/her... but his role, is LEADER. So let us lead. We will no doubt lose some on the way. But the few we help are worth the effort. If we quit now, we lose all.

Without trying to "go commercial" in any way... you can watch the prices of Scout Manuals and a host of other Scout related materials on Ebay... Old Manuals are of particular interest. My guess is (after using Ebay to purchase a more recent edition) that you got pretty much a bargain. Ed Livesay (Tiger Coach...Pack 942... Sanford, NC)
