EACH ISSUE of Boys' Life is packed with
features designed to stimulate good read-
ing and provide ideas for monthly Boy
Scout, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scout
programs.
Below are just a few highlights from the
May and June issues.
MAY
Cub Scouts and Webelos. Cub Scouts get
a headstart on June's Flags of America
theme. "Respect Our Flag" gives them tips
on proper flag etiquette. For Family
Camping, "Trek to Tomahawk" describes
an ideal family outing. Webelos Scientists
will learn how to understand scientific
principles in "Laws of Motion."
Scout Features. June's program theme
asks What's Down There? And the answer
is, "Fish!" "How to Fillet a Fish" shows
the key steps in that important skill, while
"Troop Fishing Derby" describes how a
unit can have a fun day of fishing. In the
cartoon pages, the Pedro Patrol shows how
to "Build a Fire Safely," and Green Bar
Bill uses the fire to "Have a Fun Feast,"
featuring such camp goodies as "caveman
steak."
The Greatest Show on Wings is the annual
fly-in at Oshkosh, Wis. The aviation fes-
tival features some of the flashiest aircraft
ever parked on an airport apron.
Night Walk in Big Cypress Swamp. A
Scout troop treks into the wild, wet wil-
derness of a South Florida swampland.
The Grand Animals of Africa. You can still
see elephants, lions, and other classic
African wildlife in the open, although
growing urban development is cutting into
their living space.
A Hike to the Depths of Havasu. Tramp
with a group of Scouts on a trip to a remote
Indian reservation, deep within Arizona's
Grand Canyon.
Return to Treasure Island describes a visit
to the legendary Pennsylvania Scout camp
where the Order of the Arrow was
founded.
JUNE
Cub Scouts and Webelos. For July's
Family Picnic theme, Cubs learn how to
share in the preparation for an outing in
"Everyone Should Help." "Mystery Hike"
Scouting May/June 1981
shows how fathers and sons can enjoy a
picnic activity together. For Webelos Out-
doorsman, "Passing the Torch" describes
the Arrow of Light ceremony in which a
boy moves up to join a Scout troop.
Scout Features. July's theme, Something
Fishy, refers to the perils and pests of
outdoor living. "Outdoor First Aid" gives
the basic steps for treating typical camp
ailments, while "Waterworks Game" ex-
plains a camp-wide game. In the cartoon
pages, the Pedro Patrol tells how to put a
worm and other wigglies on a hook in
"Fishing Baits and How to Hook Them."
In "Go Jamboreeing" Green Bar Bill
advises Scout patrols how they can enjoy
the jamboree even if they aren't able to
make the trip to Virginia.
Special Fishing Section. June's BL is the
annual fishing issue, and a special 16-page
removable section gives beginners and
veteran anglers valuable instruction and
information. Included are how to fish
rivers, brooks, ponds, and lakes; the basic
ingredients for your first tackle box; and
how to use spinning and bait-fishing rods.
Bill Fishing. Scouts experience the thrills
and excitement of deep-sea fishing in
Hawaii.
Wyoming Trout Fishing. Join a western
troop as it goes after trout in one of
Wyoming's most famous fishing streams.
Climbing Mt. McKinley tells how rugged
Alaskan Scouts took on the challenge of
conquering North America's tallest peak.
The Golden Knights. The U.S. Army's
demonstration parachute team shows
what spectacular things can be done once
the daring jumpers "hit the silk."
The Comeback of Old Shaggy. Once
threatened with extinction, the North
American bison or buffalo is now thriving.
Here are many of the stories and legends
recorded over the years about this amaz-
ing animal.
For only $4.20 a year, anyone in your
pack or troop can have Boys' Life sent to
his home. That's only 35 cents per issue. As
a gift for other boys or girls, send $8.40 for
one year, $15 for two years, and $21 for
three, to Boys' Life, P.O. Box 61030, Dal-
las/Fort Worth Airport, Tex. 75261. ■
