Boy Scouts Handbook: The Official Handbook for Boys, the Original Edition

Product Information

Any ‘buy out’ of the equity lender’s percentage permitted under the equity sharing scheme in favour of the borrower prior to the expiry of the term of the borrower’s agreement must be at current open market value. The Official Handbook for Boys was published in June 1911. [1] In this edition, the American Scouting program was standardized, albeit with many omissions and mistakes (cf. external links). As with the Original Edition, many now-standard Scouting skills were passed over, including knife and axe use and map and compass work. The decision to introduce another set of conveyancing instructions will meet some criticism from solicitors and conveyancers as unnecessary and a cause of confusion among practitioners. The BSA understands the concerns practitioners may have; however, in the development of the new instructions it has endeavoured to ensure that there is minimal disruption. Where the Society is prepared to lend under the Government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan Scheme, the arrangement for the equity loan must be through either a Registered Housing Association, Registered Social Landlord or through a Government or Local Authority approved and funded scheme. The first Official Handbook, subtitled A Handbook of Woodcraft, Scouting, and Life-craft was published from July 1910 until March 1911 and appeared in eight distinct variations. It was written by Ernest Seton and drew greatly on Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys, it included information on the organization of Scouting, signs and signaling, and camping, as well as Scouting games and a description of several Scouting honours. Notably, this book did not place emphasis on first aid, knife and axe use, or map and compass work, as later editions would. Because this edition was intended solely as a temporary guide until an authoritative handbook could be made, it is now known as the 1910 Original Edition Handbook. The cover art was an illustration by Baden-Powell. There were about 28,000 copies printed, not 68,900 as previously thought. [1] [2] First edition [ edit ]

The Society will only lend on a shared equity basis where a shared equity product has been selected. In the event that a shared equity product is not specified in the offer of loan then this should be reported to the lender. The instructions are being introduced on a voluntary basis and it is for individual building societies to determine, in line with other business decisions, whether they choose to adopt the BSA instructions. Many building societies have chosen to do so from January, though others may opt to use their own or alternative instructions. More confusion?Merit Badge Pamphlets– The BSA offers over 130 merit badges for Scouts to earn as they learn about the subjects they cover. Each merit badge has its own pamphlet that Scouts should consult while working on the merit badge. The remaining balance (e.g. 25%) must be made up by means of an equity loan from an equity sharing lender which is secured by a second charge ranking subsequent to a secured first charge in favour of the Society. The cumulative borrowing must not exceed 100% of the value of the property.

Scouts BSA Handbook, 14th Edition– Newly updated, this 14th edition of the Scouts BSA Handbook is still the go-to book for every Scout. There are two versions: the Scouts BSA Handbook for Girls and the Scouts BSA Handbook for Boys. Program Features for Troops and Crews – These 3 volumes contain 48 themed program features. Each volume has 16 program features with a mix of topics: outdoor, sports, health and safety, citizenship and personal development, STEM, and arts and hobbies. Leaders and youth members can use these to plan programs, help facilitate advancement and personal growth, and keep youth members engaged. Each feature comes with its own set of meeting plans and activities. Lending Restrictions: The Society does not currently lend on properties developed for older persons/ and/ or people with long term disabilities. Where an existing Shared Equity Loan is to be used in respect of a re-mortgage of a property in conjunction with a West Bromwich Building Society mortgage, the Society’s additional requirements are: The book describes many Scout-like virtues and qualifications. After a lengthy section on what a Scout should know, including chivalry, history, and national issues, it is noted that "in short, to be a good Scout is to be a well-developed, well-informed boy." [3] Scouts BSA [ edit ]The lease must provide for notice of forfeiture proceedings to be served on a mortgagee and you must obtain a written undertaking from the Landlord in the form set out at Appendix A to provide us with not less than 28 days’ written notice of intention to forfeit the lease or commence proceedings. This is required before completion. If the Lease contains any restrictions on the disposal of the property, you must also comply with Section 2 below. The Society must have the ability, as mortgagee in possession, to sell the property on the open market and at full open market value, with access to 100% of the equity of the property in satisfaction of its charge, and free of any restrictions in this regard. The lease must be the 2010 or later form lease, for use from 6th April 2010, issued by Homes England (known as the ‘Model Lease’) without material variation. On 14 February 2022 the dwelling was the tenant’s only or principal home, or the tenant owned no more than three dwellings in total (whether as leaseholder or freeholder)

Where there is an affordable housing restriction which will be binding on a mortgagee in possession, this is acceptable provided:- The handbook opens by introducing the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Scout Motto, and the Scout Slogan of BSA. There are currently two editions of the Scouts BSA Handbook, one for girls and one for boys, but other than photographs, the content is essentially the same. It is thought that Nationwide are in the process of reviewing their Part 2 requirements. Various groups have also made the government, as well as the Law Society, aware of the conveyancing profession’s concerns on this front, Today’s Conveyancer understands. Lease extensions There is nothing in the legislation or the government’s guidance to say that the leaseholder will still be protected if they are ‘extending’ a lease. The consultant solicitor also pointed out that, should one sell their flat to a buyer that requires a mortgage and the lender requires that the lease be extended, the incoming buyer would immediately lose the leaseholder protection anyway. This is seriously affecting shared ownership flats where affordability for lease extensions is a concern. Inconsistencies with the LPE1Where the Landlord permits downward/reverse staircasing, the Society requires written confirmation from the Landlord that the proceeds of sale will be paid directly to the Society. This is required before completion. One issue conveyancers are facing is the identification of enforcement notices. There is no search facility to enable a conveyancer to easily answer the relevant questions within the LPE1 – rather, they must conduct a Freedom of Information request or rely on landlords to be honest and declare them. Individual lender SRs are also more clearly set out, making them easier to find and understand. The BSA has made efforts to ensure that SRs are presented in a uniform way and adopt common language to help users.
