Boss and His Boys of 1st Hampton 1914-1984 by Norman J James is a sought-after first edition chronicling seven decades of Australian Scout history through the eyes of the dedicated leader who shaped countless boys into men. This 1984 paperback blends biography with local heritage, making it a prized addition for collectors of Australian scouting memorabilia.

Black-and-white photographs transport readers from the troop’s earliest campfires to 1980s jamborees, capturing uniforms, ceremonies, and candid smiles that define the movement’s spirit. James’s straightforward narrative appeals to young adults discovering the movement’s past and to adults nostalgic for their own scouting days.

The 272-page volume shows gentle shelf wear: the illustrated cover carries light scuffs and edge scratches, yet the binding remains tight and all pages are crisp, unmarked, and free of foxing or dog-ears. Stored in a smoke-free home, it presents well on display and is ready for immediate reading or archival storage.

Perfect for historians, Scout leaders, genealogists tracing 1st Hampton alumni, or collectors of Australiana, this scarce first edition delivers authentic voices from Australia’s youth movement without modern reprint alterations.
