ScoutingNews Clears Up 12th Edition Boy Scout Handbook Versions
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
Dan over at ScoutingNews.org has readers who know what there is to know about the new Boy Scout Handbook coming out next week.
Here is the skinny:
The 12th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook will be released on August 1. There are five different versions of the handbook that will be available. The first two types are the spiral and perfect/glue bound books. The third is a mini handbook, which primarily contains all of the rank requirements. The fourth is a library edition, which is a larger, hard bound/hard cover version of the book. The last version is a deluxe set. I am not that aware of what the deluxe set is, only that it has something to do with all of the past Boy Scout Handbooks.
I should have known originally that there would be a glue bound and spiral version. The mini handbook is awesome for Scouts working requirements, though I wouldn’t consider that a version of the “handbook”, unless it is different than what I am thinking. The library and deluxe versions make sense with the 100th anniversary. I am surprised that there is not an official Spanish version being pushed out.

I did see the new handbook in a council shop the other day. The mini book with rank requirements has all the pages printed twice. On the top of the mini-notebook is the page in English, and at the bottom the page is in Spanish. The full handbook looked like it was just English.

It is my understanding that the Spanish version will be available in December.
