scoutmaster52 10 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 First Pluto is down graded to dwarf planet, now Green Bar Bill is being rewritten to the minor league of Scouting. Even the new book by DK, "Scout Stuff" only mentions him briefly as the official biographer of Baden Powell. Whats going on in this world. Link to post Share on other sites

Jay K 15 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Dorling Kindersly is a division of Pearson, which is a British company. Green Bar Bill was a BS of America guy. If he hadn't written the Biography of BP, he probably wouldn't have made it to the DK book at all. Let's just all promote the memory of Green Bar Bill.

RememberSchiff 3666 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hmmm "Scout Stuff" has a 5 star rating on amazon.com Books ... that might change if the informed found it to be a less than fair and scholarly effort. My $0.02 P.S. (from amazon About the Author) "Robert Birkby is the author of the Boy Scouts Handbook, the Boy Scouts Fieldbook, the Scoutmaster Handbook, and many other Boy Scouts of America publications. An Eagle Scout and outdoor educator, he also served as Director of Conservation at Philmont Scout Ranch in the mountains of northern New Mexico. He lives in Seattle, Washington."(This message has been edited by RememberSchiff) Link to post Share on other sites
desertrat77 1144 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Rememberschiff, the amazon five star rating is the result of one review, total.... Kind of like having a book about the best NFL quarterbacks and leaving out Johnny Unitas. Link to post Share on other sites
