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.

Fourth Edition / 1940

The Fourth Edition cover art was by Norman Rockwell. It was a 1939 Brown & Bigelow Scout calendar painting "The Scouting Trail," featuring a Cub Scout, Boy Scout with pack (and red neckerchief), and Sea Scout against a green background.

There were 3,000,000 copies printed.
