Previewing the January-February issue of Scout Life

Scout Me In!

For more than a century, youth have enjoyed reading the adventures, skills and stories featured in Boys’ Life magazine. Those awesome articles will continue in the next incarnation of the official youth publication of the Boy Scouts of America: Scout Life. In this inaugural issue, read a congratulatory piece for the first class of female Eagle Scouts, and take a look back at some of the best tips from the magazine over its 109-year history.

Downhill at Devil’s Head

Scouts from boys Troop 9 and girls Troop 2019, linked units from Champaign, Ill., get a skiing lesson at Devil’s Head Resort in Wisconsin. Together, they work on the Snow Sports merit badge. Read the January•February issue to see how they fared and how your unit can prepare for its own ski trip.

Lace Up

Your most important piece of gear might be the one you’ve thought the least about: your boots. In the January•February issue, read the Gear Guy’s advice for selecting a good pair of footwear and see some of the top boots on the market.
