Description

It's the book 57 million Scouts have been waiting for. Stuffed like an overfilled rucksack with tips and tricks from one of the world's most celebrated adventurers, you'll find out how to:
 
· pitch a tent;
·  lead a team;
·  keep fit
·  tie knots
·  identify trees, stars and birds
·  and much more!

It's the you need on camp, on a raft heading down the river... or just at your bedside.

Just as importantly, you'll find out how to protect the planet and make a difference in your community. Along the way, you'll pick up survival skills like building a shelter in the snow, how to survive an avalanche and how to light a fire without a match.

This is the book for anyone who is a Scout, was a Scout or wants to be a Scout.

Do Your Best: How to Be A Scout is the handbook for every Scout, young and old. It's a warm-hearted Bear-hug of a book in which you'll learn the skills you need to do your best in everything you do. It's about growing up and never giving up. You'll find out how to meet life head-on and make a real difference in the world.

Not since Scouting for Boys, the seminal 1908 book by Robert Baden-Powell that sparked the global movement, has there been a single handbook for every Scout. Whoever you are, wherever you live, it'll help you step up, speak up, skill up and dream big.

Grab life with both hands with Do Your Best: How to Be A Scout. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this will be the perfect Christmas gift for the adventurer in your life -- young or old.

Chapters include: 'How to survive'; 'How to give first aid'; 'How to protect our planet'; 'How to be an adventurer'; 'How to be a camp cook'; 'How to be organized'; 'How to live freely'; 'How to predict the weather'; 'How to be a team player'. And that's just for starters!
