Kahuna Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 At the risk of shameless self-promotion, those interested in Scouting history might want to check out http://www.facebook.com/menofschiff and http://www.menofschiff.org. Both center on the book, Men of Schiff, A History of the Professional Scouters Who Built the Boy Scouts of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahuna Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Latest update on the ebook from Lulu is that it will probably be available by early July. They're moving fast. Don't know the price yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuna Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Latest update: The eBook is now available from lulu.com. It will be on Amazon in a week or so, but Lulu is charging the same price, $8.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Kahuna; Am in the process of reading the book after recently receiving your inscribed copy as ordered. Am not very far as yet, but already finding it interesting. Found your quote on page 17 from James Truslow particularly applicable, in my mind, to what goes on today in many of these forums and our society as a whole. You might post some of it in another more contentious forum. Also find your comments on your short career as a professional, and the reasons for leaving to be spot on from what I have observed over my long tenure. The terrible schedule, which I briefly observed in 1971 while shadowing a pro from the old Riverside council in So Cal, was enough to put me off; added to it was the under $8K starting salary of the time and the lack of youth contact. Will likely post additional comments as I work through the meat of the book. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
