HELPFUL BOOKS FOR SCOUT MASTERS
It will be observed that the books in the following list are arranged in two general groups, one as suggestions for special reading in different phases of Boys Work, and the other as a selected list of several good books for each Merit Badge and kindred subject. This grouping is for the convenience of Scout Masters and other Scout workers, who desire a more thorough knowledge of child-training and the boy problem, or who wish to read up on the Merit Badge subjects. As far as possible, both elementary and advanced books are included for each subject.
These books are not specially recommended as the best books available for the different subjects, but they are all very good and will certainly prove helpful to the Scout Master in his understanding of boy nature, and in his Scout work.
All books listed should be readily obtainable at the public libraries or local book-stores. If the books can not be obtained at home, they can be purchased through the Book Department at National Headquarters. When books are ordered sent by mail, five or ten cents should be added to the price for postage, as only net prices are listed.
