The Remington Rolling Block Boy Scout rifle,Since its founding in 1910 over 110 million Americans have held membership in the Boy Scout.  Being a Boy Scout is so American, that even claiming to have been an Eagle Scout is an acceptable thing to put on a job resume.  Unfortunately Peashooter never had the opportunity to join the Scouts as there were no packs in my locality.  Bummer.One common feature of Boy Scout training is riflery and marksmanship.  In 1913, Remington introduced the Remington Rolling Block Boy Scout rifle.  A copy of the famous Rolling Block, the Boy Scout rifle was a single shot breechloader.  Unlike other models of the Rolling Block, the Boy Scout rifle was shorter, and chambered for the weak .22 short cartridge.The Rolling Block Boy Scout rifle was perfect for its purpose.  Often single shot rifles are best for youth and new shooters, and the small caliber .22 short cartridge had no recoil while being accurate enough for small game hunting.  Overall, it was easy and safe for training in marksmanship. Around 6,000 were produced between 1913 and 1923. -- source link
