Looking for a copy of Jan 1975 anyone out there have one? The reason I’m looking for it is because my picture is in it on page 37. I was one of the Scouts that was in the Brown Sea Dbl Two week long camp at John Zink Scout Ranch in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thanks from a Eagle Scout!

Need a Boy’s Life for September 1930, of page: cover, 24 and 25.
I’m restoring my dad’s old Marlin 39a for his 70th birthday and he said he read about it and was inspired to buy it because of Boys Life Magazine. I found the ad for his gun in the May 1959 edition. Does anyone know how to either order this magazine or get a printable file/version of it?
Do you need the full magazine or just the ad?
Every time I read about building snow caves(domes) there is always some added bit that makes it more comfortable,likely to lead to rescue and easier to build.
