Camping For Boys

A practical handbook that guides adults and boys through planning and operating camps, pairing character-building aims with hands-on instruction. It covers the purpose of outdoor life, leader selection, site choice and sanitation, equipment, personal checklists, daily programs, food and campfire routines, hiking and cooking away from base, athletics, nature study and educational games, and systems of organization, discipline and recognition. Practical chapters address first aid, personal hygiene and weather forecasting but reflect period medical and safety practices that are now outdated and in some cases unsafe.
