Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook

The Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook, which has known many different editions and printings, is an unbelievably exhaustive scouting handbook, at the core of the Junior Woodchucks themselves.
==Description==
The Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook is a repository of absolute knowledge. It is famous for appearing rather small in spite of the amount of knowledge contained therein; it has been theorized that some sort of magic is involved, which isn't so outlandish, as the Guidebook contains occult knowledge among other things, and has demonstrated imperviousness to magic. 
===Role===
Copies of the Guidebook are issued to all Junior Woodchucks, who are the only ones allowed to read from it (though old, altogether-outdated editions are exempt from this rule). Good Woodchucks, such as Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, are famous for always warrying their copies with them.
