Boys' Life is a great publication. They have something of interest for young minds, and the not so young minds too. The June 2000 issue has articles on Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros and another on the Invasion of the Jellies (jellyfish). Also there are comics, special features such as slide of the month, In The Driver's Seat and Hobby Hows. The June issue features the story "Deadly Drugs", which includes a lifesaving list with facts about the appearance or how some of the listed drugs look, including alcohol, the initial effect and user symptoms. Articles lean to the Boy Scouts of America program, but are informative to anyone who loves the out-of-doors or even crafts.
To enter the 2000 contest write a one-page report titled "The Best Book I Read This Year": and enter it in the Boys' Life 2000 "Say Yes to Reading!" Contest. The book can be fiction or non-fiction. But the report has to be in your own words. Enter in one of the three age categories:
When Pedro receives your report, you'll get a free patch like the one shown above only in color. (And yes, the patch is a temporary insignia, so it can be worn on the Boy Scout, or Cub Scout uniform shirt, on the right pocket. Proudly display it there!) The top three winners from each age group will also get a Leatherman multi-tool, copies of Codemaster books 1 and 2, the limited edition Codemaster pin-and-patch set--plus their names will be announced in Boys' Life! The contest is open to all Boys' Life readers. Be sure to include your name, address, age and grade in school on the entry. Send your report, along with a business-size addressed, stamped envelope, to: BSA, Boy's Life Reading Contest, Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2000 ________________________________ Every month there are advancement ceremonies in the Bugle and also recognition ceremonies for adult leaders. During any recognition ceremony the accomplishments of the individuals are recognized. Now is the time that I am going to formally recognize the person most responsible for my own involvement in Scouting, but also add a story as to why I am sharing this with everyone. The person most responsible for my involvement is our 18-year-old son, Neal.
