Download or read book Master at Arms Boy Scouts Merit Badge manual written by Boy Scouts Assoc. and published by Sierra Skies. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The missing manual The Master-At-Arms merit badge was one of the first 14 original Merit Badges of Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys movement in the U.S. in 1910, but was then discontinued in 1911. Various versions of the original booklets and merit badge requirements continued in both British and US scouting. This is a reproduction of a 1925 version. As many of the original scout activities had their roots in military scouting and fieldcraft, it was not surprising that this badge was based on then popular forms of martial arts of the era. The key requirements were to become proficient in several of the following: Single-stick, Quarter-staff, Fencing, Boxing, Ju-Jitsu, and Wrestling. This booket is a fascinating look at defensive arts training at the beginning of the 20th Century, and it is also still practical for those interested in learning the basics of these now more obscure martial sports.

Book excerpt: John Edward Robinson was a 56-year-old grandfather from rural Kansas. An entrepreneur and Eagle Scout, he was even honored as "Man of the Year" at a Kansas City charity. To some of the women he met on the Internet, he was known as Slavemaster--a sexual deviate with a taste for sadomasochistic rituals of extreme domination and torture ... even killing. Masquerading as a philanthropist, he promised women money and adventure. For fifteen years, he trawled the Web, snaring unsuspecting women. They were never seen again. But in the summer of 2000, the decomposed remains of two women were discovered in barrels on Robinson's farm, and three other bodies were found in storage units. Yet the depths of Robinson's bloodlust didn't end there. For authorities, the unspeakable criminal trail of Slavemaster was just beginning... Depraved is a true story of sadistic murder in the Heartland, told by true crime master John Glatt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. Appearing in paperback for the first time—with twenty arresting new photos and an extensive Q&A with the author—Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.

Download or read book Scout s Honor written by Patrick Boyle and published by Prima Lifestyles. This book was released on 1994 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No criminal in American society is more despised than the man who has sex with children. This is his story. He offends us, but it's time to listen. Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another respected adult - Scoutmaster, teacher, priest, or pop singer - accused of child molesting. Into this uproar steps Scout's Honor, which systematically examines the history of sexual abuse in America's most revered youth group and tells us what we should know about men whose desires seem too bizarre to understand." "Through a computer analysis of nearly 2000 previously secret files on child-abusing Scout leaders; through interviews with molesters, victims, investigators, and top Scout officials; and by digging through court records and 80-year-old Scout documents, author Patrick Boyle traces sexual abuse from Scouting's roots to today's headlines."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Tony tells of his twenty years in Kenya with George Adamson of Born Free fame - a time of discovery, isolation and frequent danger living far from civilisation.
