Encouragment from within the pages

 More very damp days here I'm afraid.

For some the Berenstain Bears books were very much a part of early childhood, where you're trying to make sense of the adult world, devouring as many clues as you can.

Those Bears tended to inhabit your world so like with the Peanuts series, sooner or later something as iconic as Scouting was going to come into the series and in this book we go exploring and kayaking.

These aren't manuals for scouting, no replacement for your guidebooks but were a way of communicating what scouting had to offer so no matter where you lived the idea was planted you just might want to join and share in the fun.
