Just out of curiosity is "Boys Life" still in print?

I haven't seen one in 40 years (but it's been that long since I was in Scouting)

I used to read and re-read every issue, every page, every ad, every hint or glimpse of the upcoming edition. I loved that Magazine and then I graduated to Fur Fish and Game and then to Popular Mechanics ... (I even sold GRIT door to door)
Yea I'm a Redneck, bona fide.
TT :^)

Yep! My son is a Weblos and I am his den leader. It is a blast. The magazine is a little different, but they still call Pedro names! My son also reads it cover to cover, just like we did. He is almost as excited about becoming a Boy Scout as I am. We do not get to do many authorized camping trips in cub scouts ( just two a year). My den has great parents and we usually do two more "off the record". Glad to meet another scout!

Just as a side note, I am an Eagle Scout. My project was building a handrail fo the side walk that led up a hill from my Church's parking lot to the building. My advisor was a commercial construction manager with a degree in Civil Engineering from the Citadel. Needless to say my ducks were in a row. Along with any other water fowl in the general vicinity.
