  The Woodcraft Folk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Woodcraft Folk is a UK-based educational movement for children and young people, considered the youth arm of the co-operative movement.
The Woodcraft Folk was established by Leslie Paul in 1925 after the south London co-operative groups challenged Hargrave's authoritarian tendencies over his refusal to recognise a local group called "The Brockleything" and broke away from the Kindred.
The name 'woodcraft' was used by the influential writer and naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton at the turn of the twentieth century when setting up the American proto-scouting organisation Woodcraft Indians, and in this context meant the skill of living in the open air, close to nature.

 Woodcraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thompson Seton's Woodcraft ideas were incorporated into the early Scout movement, but also in many other organisations in many countries.
In the UK, John Hargrave developed the ideas and founded the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift (The Woodcraft Folk was an offshoot of this), and the Westlakes founded the Order of Woodcraft Chivalry.
Typical was the Czech Woodcraft League, founded in the 1920s by Milos Seifert, it grew in its early years but was suppressed for half a century, first by the Nazis and then by the Communists.

 Welcome to Adirondack Woodcraft Camps
In the 1920's the term "Woodcraft" was synonymous with the then primitive arts of living in the wilderness.
Woodcraft boasts four separate waterfronts with over three miles of shoreline and one can always find campers enjoying the lakes in different ways.
Woodcraft campers will have many opportunities to extend their aquatic skill to waterways outside of camp including fabled local gems like the Moose River (which borders Woodcraft) and the Fulton Chain of Lakes and beyond to places like the St. Lawrence Seaway and Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada.

 A visit to Woodcraft Supply.
Founded in Boston in 1928, Woodcraft is the oldest and fastest growing retailer of fine woodworking tools, supplies and equipment in the US, according to Shawn Draper, VP of Marketing, who gave me a cook's tour of the corporate office complex.
Woodcraft mails over 3.2 million catalogs per year to a customer base of over 3.6 million people - in 50 states and 117 foreign countries -- including more than a million customers who have placed an order within the past six months.
Clearly, Woodcraft is keeping a close eye on trends in woodworking, in order to anticipate new developments and tailor their product lines to a changing clientele.

 Woodcraft
The blade of this old Marble's Woodcraft (which I bought at a "flea market") had been beveled and chromed.
The only reason that I decided to try this was that the curve of the saw blade was a very good match to the curve of the knife blade and that would allow me to make the sides and bottom of the sheath in one piece.
Once I got the depth I was looking for, I only had to make a short sliding motion with the saw, as there is very little straight section in the Woodcraft.

 Welcome to Adirondack Woodcraft Camps

 Ernest Thompson Seton and woodcraft
Known as a writer of animal stories, and the Chief Scout of the Boys Scouts of America, Ernest Thompson Seton was a champion of the spirit of woodcraft.
He revived Woodcraft in 1915 as a coeducational organization - the Woodcraft League of America - as a co-educational program open to children between ages "4 and 94".
The Woodcraft League of America grew to some 5000 members - but 'organizational laxness and perhaps the eccentricity of Seton's ideas barred sustained growth' (Macleod 1989: 239).

Roosevelt was a good Woodcrafter and he is credited with a saying that sums up the spirit of Woodcraft, if we assume the outdoor surroundings.

The Woodcraft Cabin at Blue Ridge is 12 ft. x 18 ft. It 5 1/2 ft. at the eaves, and 9 at the peak.
