Boys' Life Preview
Boys' Life magazine helps make your Scouting program and your Scouts excel. Research shows that boys who subscribe to the magazine advance farther, spend more time outdoors, and stay in Scouting longer than those who don't. There's something for everyone in Boys' Life. And everyone can receive the magazine every month.
Check out these exciting articles scheduled for publication in the November and December 2010 issues of Boys' Life.
Rocket Man
When he was in Scouts, Mike Massimino never earned the Space Exploration merit badge. Decades of training and two space missions later, it’s safe to say that he completed all the requirements anyway. In Boys’ Life’s Cool Jobs series, your Scouts will meet Massimino, who gained fame in 2009 when he became the first astronaut to post to Twitter from space. Speaking of, send out a tweet to remind Scouts to read this story in the November issue.
Frozen in Climb
Handholds and footholds? Who needs ’em? When climbing a 100-foot wall of slippery, craggy ice, Scouts use boots, crampons, and ice axes to create their own path to the top. In the December issue, readers can chill with Troop 1 of Lewisboro, N.Y., as they learn about ice climbing, an activity available for Scouts or Venturers 13 or older. Belay on!
