Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Handbook Highway

This is a new version of the Handbook Highway. When it was originally published, it was in celebration of the BSA’s Centennial program – Get in the Game! and in dedication to the BSA for bringing us to this game. And with that …...we give you a little history of the Boy Scout Handbook.


You are mainly seeking 35mm film containers placed at the base of a metal post or in a guard rail. However there are a few magnetic key holders. They are only hidden in areas with wide shoulders and/or ample parking and they tend to shy away from homes and businesses. As always, be careful as you hunt them, the world can be a dangerous place.

First Edition / 1913

The first edition cover artwork was done by Gordon Grant. It is a line drawing of a Scout in front of a campsite waving his campaign hat, beckoning to the reader.

Printings 1-3 had an olive drab background, and the 2nd printing reprint plus printings 4-10 had a maroon background. There apparently were also some "special" printings with orange or light green covers. All back covers were the same color as the front, with a First Class badge. There were over 300,000 copies printed.
