The Dangerous Book for Boys puts me in mind of following creeks through the woods, baseball cards held to the forks of my bike with clothespins, climbing trees, chemistry sets, purloined firecrackers, strike anywhere matches, building forts and a thousand other common joys of boyhood. Not virtual but visceral, hands-on and sometimes faintly dangerous.
Risk and challenge remain vital to boys. We cannot legislate or litigate this vitality out of their lives. The authors of the Dangerous Book for boys have assembled a vast catalog of information, activities, skills and crafts that may be nostalgic to men of a certain age but are new and fascinating to each successive generation of boys.
Available at Amazon
Great Book! Costco also carries it. Danger is what it’s all about, LOL,
I saw this book in Walmart and took a look at it. It looked like a very interesting book, with a few good ideas for Scouts, but also a couple ideas that could be a bit dangerous. I see that it is cheaper on Amazon.
