Offered is an original 1926 Parker Brothers “Boy Scouts’ Progress Game”, the early transitional variant featuring the correct 1926 copyright board paired with the pre-1926 wooden dice cup and loose instruction sheet. This configuration is significantly less common than the later glued-sheet/cardboard-cup issues.

Notes
This is the desirable early-variant 1926 edition, produced during Parker Brothers’ transition from the 1924 first issue. The wooden dice cup and loose instruction sheet place it above standard 1926–1928 copies in scarcity and collector value.
A complete example of this configuration does not come up often.
Board is straight and very clean with good tape hinge.
Corners of the box are damaged and no repair attempt was made.
