I first read a version of this manual from the 1920s or 30s, used by one of my mother's brothers. It was on almost onionskin paper, full of information and stories, and included information on merit badges, info that later was presented in separate pamphlets.

What you would expect for teen boys in the 20th century. Mostly old humorous folksongs and popular standards, many goofy parodies, and some serious songs.
