Boys’ Life Information For Parents of Scouts Who Are Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Just as The Friend and the New Era relate to the scriptures, so does Boys’ Life magazine relate to the Cub Scout and Boy Scout handbooks. Special Announcement The Scouting sign-up process does not include Boys’ Life. You need to order it separately. See your Scout leader or call your BSA local council service center today. Why should we take Boys’ Life? • Boys’ Life strengthens the family for Scouting. Family members read Boys’ Life and become stronger in their support. • Boys’ Life promotes desirable character traits in young boys, including physical and mental fitness, self-reliance, and personal service to others. • Boys’ Life encourages good reading. • Boys’ Life provides a direct link between Scouting rank advancement and the enjoyment of learning new things. • Boys’ Life is especially helpful by providing continuity when Scout leaders change. Monthly Features Bible Heroes A story about Bible heroes appears in every issue of Boys’ Life. Leaders will find these stories very useful to help younger Scouts understand the lives of Bible heroes. Scouts in Action Scouts in Action is one of the most popular features in Boys’ Life. Scout leaders can use the stories of Scouts in Action for inspirational talks and real-life examples of Scout heroes. The stories are based on the actions of real Scouts who have received a BSA meritorius or lifesaving award. 26-895A 2005 Printing $1.00 per issue
