That's 12 issues of the best of a boy's life - all in Boys' Life. Order a subscription for yourself, your son or for anyone else who would enjoy reading The Magazine for All Boys.
Many stories and articles in Boys' Life reflect the program themes of Cub Scouting and program features of Boy Scouting. The mission of Boys' Life magazine is to entertain and educate America's youth and to open their eyes to the joyous world of reading. This is accomplished through a proven mix of news, nature, sports, history, fiction, science, comics, and Scouting.
Boys' Life magazine began publication March 1, 1911, as the "Boys' and Boy Scouts' magazine." In 1911 "Boy Scouts" referred to the youth participants in several different "Scouting" organizations, including the BSA. Founder and publisher George R. Barton of Boston, Massachusetts, issued Boys' Life twice monthly--the cost: 5c per issue. His market was the boys and "Scouts and Scouters" from several youth organizations such as former Greenwich resident Ernest Thompson Seton's Woodcraft Indians, Daniel Carter Beard's Sons of Daniel Boone, and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). |

The first BSA-published edition was July 1912. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive, was the magazine's first BSA editor. The cover price of Boys' Life remained 5c per issue until December 1914, when it jumped to a dime. Boys' Life circulation has grown from 6,000 in 1912 to 1.3 million today.
Boys' Life encourages good reading. Boys' Life is a strong mix of exciting stories and valuable information. Boys' Life subscribers advance in rank faster and more often than non-subscribers--more than twice as fast as non-subscribers. Boys' Life goes into the home and is read by parents and brothers and sisters who become more supportive of Scouting because of Boys' Life. Boys' Life has long been recognized for its "retention factor." Scouts who subscribe to Boys' Life stay in Scouting longer than non-subscribers, generally more than twice as long. Boys' Life is the silent assistant, helping Scouting leaders and parents help Scouts to succeed.

BSA Legal is a resource that helps you stay current with the issues that Scouting faces on a continuing basis. Scouting has been under relentless legal assault and publicity barrage since the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Scouts' First Amendment right to freedom of association in 2000. Scouting will defend itself and the constitutional rights we all share as Americans.
Most importantly, Boy Scouts of America will not allow the attacks to sway it from its mission: to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. |
