What About Issues Since 2012?
Many articles published since 2012 are available here on the Scout Life website. You can also find recent issues of the magazine on the Scout Life app.
Too bad that you can not download certain pages and print them out for use with present day Scouts. Some of the articles are still good for today’s Scouting use.
Should bring back the old reprints that they had years ago. Making your own equipment, ie; tents, packs, camping equipment instead of getting the overpriced equipment sold today.
How does someone print information found in the archive articles?
