As part of my research into method earlier this year, I picked up a 1959 edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook. The early editions of the Boy Scouts of America's version of the Boy Scout Handbook were mostly written by the same person, William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt , and revised over many years. The Patrol method Hillcourt described in the Scoutmaster's Handbook was essentially a self-directed Agile team. MORE
