scouting basics

[Ron Dickey]

Most of us belonged to the scouts at one time or another.

If you have your old scouting books or have a kid who is in or want to just look in the net for such like I did you might find basic camping ideas.

This one offers lots of ideas many of us have forgot or never saw.

This site if full of basic drawings of many things we could assemble use and take down for the next camp.

One is a Shower stall. the cover I was more interested in. Now adays I would use PCV pipe instead.

Hey Ron,

Great site. I was a scout many years ago and I remember building wooden tables, workstations, etc. . I have also forgotten the basics in camping. This brings back some fun memories. I'll have to dig up my old scout handbooks and keep them in our tear.

Thanks for sharing the site. Ross

One of my most prized possessions is a Boy Scout Handbook, copyright 1942. It was my father's. It is chock-full of wonderful drawings and ideas of all kinds of furniture and projects for camping and living. Every now and then I get curious what it might be worth, but then I realize that I wouldn't sell it for any amount of money.

(Okay, being honest, I would probably sell it if you offered me $500,000, but not a penny less!)

Sounds good. When hyper-inflation kicks in, soon, I'll give you $500K for it. You'll be able to take that $500K and buy a loaf of bread!
