What are
they saying about the book?
-----------------------------------------
"What a great job on the book!
I didn't have anything like this as a reference and just plain enjoy browsing
through and learning about the different badges etc. Now I can understand what I
am looking at when I dig through a box of commissioner style position patches.
"
Greg in TN
---------------------------------------
"First let me compliment you on the marvelous job you did on this
edition. I found myself reading the document and learning. My
comments are relatively few as I do believe that what you have produced is a
very fine piece of work."
John in NJ
---------------------------------------
"You did an outstanding job increasing the scope and topics of your version 3 book. I was very impressed with the additions in Cub Scouting and the Cub leader female uniform sections. Very good work!"
