A "Must-Have" Book

You already own the most important book—a Boy Scout Handbook. But did you ever need to check the requirements for a merit badge without having to buy the pamphlet? Wonder about other special awards, like Mile Swim, Interpreter's Strip, Leave No Trace, World Conservation Award, others? Well, everything is in the Boy Scout Requirements 2008 book (#33215, $4.99), updated almost every year. Get it at any of the locations above.

Animated Knots
