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. Containing some material from the past Boy Scout Handbooks.

 This comes in line with the Centenary Celebrations being planned for 2010 with the Boy Scouts of America. Some parts of the Boy Scout Programe have changed. 

 Keep listening to Keith Westergaard and Dave Nelson for more on this development.
