Boy Scouts hunting tech-savvy youths

Surviving in the wilderness once relied on a compass and map, hiking boots and a sense of adventure. Keep those stashed in your gear, but add an iPhone or laptop to the mix and you've got the new direction of the Boy Scouts.

The largest youth organization in the country is taking on a new approach as it targets the tech-savvy generation, and announced this week that its bible -- the Boy Scout Handbook -- is going online.

The 475-page handbook continues to focus on subjects like camping, woodwork, leadership and citizenship, but the 12th edition includes a section on Internet safety and expanded information on GPS navigation. An iPhone application for the handbook will be available next month.
