A Boy Scout's Handbook of Madcap Tales, Volume 1

Follow a lost Scout searching for his troop and for a bowl of cobbler through 11 madcap tales, crazy illustrations, tips from Sir Nuttbucket, and fake Boys' Life classified ads.

The book begins "Somewhere in the heartland of America... and includes: The Scout Who Bought a Snipe; I Pledge Allegiance to Everything I’ve Ever Heard; Road Kill, Hold the Cheese; My Brother Burrnie; The Pampered Scout; The Troop Bus That Couldn’t and Didn’t Want To; The Granny Knot; A Scout is Also Resourceful; The Tenderfoot Who Hiked Up a Hill and Slid Down a Bad Cobbler; The Scout Who Always Got Car Sick; Highway Adventure; The Handbook Part; Extra Bonus Filler; and Madcap Scouts’ Classified Ads.

--Mark Ray, Author, The Eagle Court of Honor Book and The Scoutmaster's Other Handbook "Norman Rockwell painted images of Boy Scouting for more than 50 years, but never once managed to include burnt wieners, a Scout with the runs, or a burro falling off a cliff in one of his works. Sir Oliver Smellingham Nuttbucket III rectifies Rockwell's shortcomings in his first book (or at least the first book for which he takes responsibility). This series of loosely connected madcap tales, questionable camping tips, and chuckle-inducing classified ads will remind Scouts and Scout leaders what Scouting is really like. (Sorry, Mr. Rockwell.)"

--Peter Applebome, Author, Scout's Honor: A Father's Unlikely Foray into the Woods. "... Nuttbucket's goofy little tome is a reminder that along with being trustworthy, loyal, helpful and friendly, a Scout should have fun and a sense of humor. Baden-Powell would have approved."

--Red Green, from The New Red Green Show "It's a good quality book, well-made and not too long and it has no staples, which is welcomed when you're camping a long way from the restroom. My only criticism is that the stories need to be 17.4% funnier. I still think Scouts will really enjoy the book as they are 17.5% nicer than me."

A perfect gift for Scouts and Scouters alike.

48 full-color pages, 5" x 7", Smyth Sewn paperback for durability, printed on high quality art paper. ISBN 0-9741310-0-8
