January-February 1999
Let Boys' Life Be Your Program Helper
Boys' Life magazine helps make your Scouting program and your
Scouts excel. Research shows that boys who subscribe to the magazine
advance further, spend more time outdoors, and stay in Scouting longer
than those who don't.
Below are articles and features scheduled for publication in the
January and February 1999 issues of Boys' Life that can help
youth members with advancement.
Abbreviations are "ACH" for achievement,
"ELECT" for elective, and
"MB" for merit badge. Titles in
COLOR indicate special program features.
