The opening of the handbook introduces the origins and aims of the Boy Scout Movement, emphasizing its widespread influence and the importance of building character and good citizenship in young boys. It presents a message from Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton, who shares his personal longing for outdoor knowledge and experiences, which sparked the creation of the scouting program. The text sets the groundwork for the various scout virtues and skills that will be further elaborated upon throughout the handbook, inviting boys from all walks of life to join and develop into well-rounded individuals through the teachings of scouting.
