Boy's Life Magazine is the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America. There are two versions of this magazine, one for boys younger than 11 and one for boys 11-18. Some of the material overlaps in the two versions and the covers are usually the same, but there is variation in content based on the age group. There are articles on scouting and camping, sports, volunteerism, hot new cars, animals and more. I was surprised to see that stories of the Bible are showcased each month. This magazine features a lot of ads, mostly for television programs and video games, but also for outdoor adventures and outdoor gear. All in all this is a good magazine for boys entrenched in the Boy Scout lifestyle.
