HOME—BSA Handbooks
The BSA has three key handbooks for use by Scout troops—the Scout Handbook, the Scoutmaster Handbook, and the Patrol Leader Handbook. The Scout Fieldbook is another important resource the BSA has provided for a long time. The pages below give a brief history of each edition. Cover pictures (front & back) are shown with each description. Note that titles have variously used the terms 'Scout' and 'Boy Scout' interchangeably until 2019, when girls also became 'Scouts' [but note that 'Girl Scouts' are members of the US version of the separate worldwide Girl Guiding program].
The pages below show every cover of each handbook, along with a brief explanation about the artwork and the artist.
The various handbooks have used a number of different titles over the decades. The most complete title is generally on the title page of the book:
also covered with the Patrol Leader Handbook: Isight camera software for mac.
