May-June 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 May and June
1999 issues of Boys' Life that can help youth members with advancement.
Titles in COLOR indicate special program features.
