Dear Boys’ Life, why isn’t Tom Eaton drawing the Webelos Woody and Dink and Duff comics anymore?
Great resource, especially trying to find older information about councils, camps, etc.
This is excellent! Not only was I able to find the edition that featured my brothers (May, 1968) but I thoroughly enjoyed the trip back in time. The advertisements really brought back memories…the bikes were so cool back in the day! Thanks for the resource.
I wish there was a way to save the magazine on a computer 🙁
