Boys Life Magazine will be offered to those scouts who want it. In the past we have purchase a subscription for all cub scouts. It has been brought to our attention that many boys are not reading the magazine and it is wasting pack money. So if you would like a free subscription we will gladly continue to offer to those scouts who read it. Please notify any one of our committee members as to your wishes.
