External Reviews
"The scouting game is a very broad one with each member challenged to take part in such a diverse range of activities. This hard back copy of Scouting Skills is the perfect one stop reference point for such a demand. It will not cover in detail every part of the outdoors experiences you might encounter but it will do enough to help you once you are out there to enjoy every bit of way. If you ever wondered how to prepare for a hike, what to pack, what to do out once there and how to experience the outdoors this is the book for you, be a young member of the scout movement, an adult leader or volunteer or just an enthusiast. Hikes, maps, compass, clouds, winds, weather, camping, tools, camping furniture and preparations, first response, activities; the list goes on, they are all there, in separate chapters that tie together like a reef knot. I have found that this is a good book for any section in scouting, from Beavers, to Cubs, to Scouts, to Explorers and Network."
"A clear & concise instruction manual with good illustrations, a must for those requiring a manual for instruction, or as in my case a refresher for my distant memories. It enables the reader to view the new & exciting developments and inspires potential programs that can & should be available to our young people." - Google Reviews.
