    Hi to all scout leaders,

    HELP PLEASE

    My son was given a loan of a very old book called "The scouting trail - official handbook" by his leader while on a trip to Cork. While they were away the book got damaged and his leader is very upset. It has a map of Ireland on the front with images of scouts over the map. I would desperately love to replace the book. I imagine it is going back to the sixties possibly seventies and it seems to have been produced by "The scouting shop Ltd". This is the only publishing reference I can find on the back page. If someone knows where I can get a copy or has one they do not need I would be very happy to pay for it. Many thanks...

    That sounds like the old Scouting Trail with a pinkish cover. They use to be plenty around but I think they are scarce now a days. As far as I can remember when CSI moved out of Herbert Place in the 90s they found hundreds of copies in the basement, it may worth calling National Office in Larch Hill to see if they still have some in storage some where.
