scomman Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Does anybody remember the fieldbok that was a companion to the Scout Manual? I just got my new catalog and was looking to get one and couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red feather Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Still have and use mine from the 70s. Very helpful. Haven't seen one recently, but have not been looking. yis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreaScouter Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 The current Fieldbook is the 1983 edition...very old. It is supposed to be in revision since much of the nature stuff went out of the handbook a couple editions ago. I use mine a lot, but it does need updating...

k9gold-scout Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 My son bought one about 3 years ago for use on JLTC staff. I have seen them in our council's scout shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk9750 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 We just requested that all of our scouts get one for themselves, and asked the parents to consider it as a Christmas present for their boy. the new handbook, although laid out better than the last edition, is missing a tremendous amount of valuable information about outdoor skills and activities. We have found that given the chance to choose, we almost would rather have our boys have the fieldbook than the handbook. I didn't realize it isn't in the catalog, but our service center had plenty of copies for our Christmas blitz. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozemu Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Heck even I have one. Don't have a handbook though. Anyone for a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Foot Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Go to e-bay...they've got em. I got one that was printed in the 70's... I think I would rather have one printed in the 60's. I know it needs updating, but it is really usefull. You should be able to get them for around $3 bucks + shiping. Eagle Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripulan Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Did someone say Fieldbook. I've got copies of three different editions the oldest a 1955 printing of the first edition. Useful info in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutmaster Ron Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 What surprises me is that no one to date has taken this as their luxury item on the show "Survivior" I know it would be mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Nate Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yes, I believe the latest feildbook was made about 20 years ago. No recent one has been made since then. Though, I belive they should. Granted this feildbook works just fine, I do though, belive we need feildbooks with more recent pictures, and more ideas that could be added as well.
