After a tent-rattling storm, a Venturing crew climbs through the dead of night up super-steep slopes and eventually tackles all that Mount Shasta has to offer.
this looks alot like hockey minus the ice and the danger of being ran in too
The sport of hurling is a big deal in Ireland. It's also a big deal to Boy Scouts in Milwaukee, Wis. The Milwaukee Hurling Club gave the Scouts a chance to participate in a sport they call "the fastest game on grass."
i have diabetas type 1 and i had it for 2 years now,also these peps are doing somethign great!
my sister, my dad and my uncle have diabetes. we thank you
I think its awsome that the boy scouts are fighting for a cure to end diabetes
keep up the great work! lets hear it for those who stand up and fight for a cure!
Awesome! Way to go to the 4 Boy Scouts and others for fighting for a cure.
Four Boy Scouts with type 1 diabetes joined about 150 kids from across the country in Washington, D.C., last summer to lobby their congressmen for financial support for research for better treatments and, someday, a cure for the disease.
What started as a single tree planted in front of the BSA national office in Irving, Texas, has now finished with 100,000 trees planted in an area of Montana that's now known as the Boy Scouts of America Centennial Forest.
yeah, i used that design last year, i think im going to try something a bit different this year though
my bad….. i’d like to use that pumpkin for halliween.
Wow, that looks really cool. The only problem is it doesn’t look like a classicaly carved jack-o-lantern. Luv it but I’ll stick to the old fashioned way
I think you are a great pumpkin carver! I what to make jack-o-lanterns just like you!
That looks awsome the way he made it . It almost looks real .
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. thx alot. i think ill do the peanut guy.
Thanks!!! I Think I will use this info for this Halloween. You’ve been a big help giving me a heads up on what to do for a pumpkin carving.
im a second class scout and i would like that to be a merit badge!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 3-D looks better than those designs you get in carving kits.
Halloween is tomorrow. So it is time to carve your pumpkins!
Remember knife safety. Always maintain control and only cut what you want.
I look forward to seeing Scout-carved pumpkins. Sure you guys will do a great job.
Happy Carvings…
You are awesome.You also do a great job on carving pumpkins.Show more pictures of pumpkins that you have carved.I also have fun at Halloween and growing pumpkins.
Some of them look weird 
and creepy. 8) (Insert Halloween music here.)
At the fair i went to today i saw professional pumpkin and wood carvers one of them said he had been doing it for 8 years and he said that wood and pumpkin are both hard in their “own ways”!!!!
oh my gosh ur pumpkins are amazing if i could do that i would definetly carve a pumpkin everyday
Glad you folks like the site.
Once you clean out the pumpkin, you see how much depth you have to work with. You then make cuts to create an illusion of depth (like Shrek) without going through unless you want to (eyes, open part of mouth, etc). Agree the overalls are a bit dorky, but they fit the theme and get me in places most people can’t.
Be carefull with your knives, I look forward to seeing some of your carvings!
i love how you carve the pumpkins.This year im going to try it i cant wait.I wish i was as good as you.
The googly eyes are prety cool. Remember, he’s been doing this for about 20 years so I guess he’s had a ton of practice. Keep carving and Happy Haloween when it comes.
i love your work it is a master peaze.and i love halloween.
That is soooo amazing. I wish I could do that. I’ll try this year. I can;s WAIT!!! (even tho it wont be as good as his.)
this website is wickedly sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like his overalls and I’m going to use his advice.
oramge overalls are dorky, but the punkin carving is really cool. It like how he does the warts.
Crazyboy is right. how do you do that!?!?!?!?!?!?
I don’t know how he can do this!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!
I totally enjoyed the magazine article and this workshop article. I can’t wait to try out Farmer Mike’s ideas myself!
How about using a cold light source such as a chemical light stick or one of those LED “tea light candles” The latter cost about $1.50 each, use a replacable Lithium coin cell, and come in a choice of colors including one that changes colors including red, yellow, green, blue, purple and white in one light.
World-class pumpkin carver Farmer Mike shows you how to carve a creative jack-o'-lantern.
Geocaching is very difficult, but when you do find the cache it is very rewarding! GEOCACHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyslife is a fun way to lern how to do stuf out in the forest
Colorado Scouts use GPS and ham-radio skills to complete a challenging navigation course.

We have included this product in our family first aid kits for several years now; I have seen it at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sports Authority and Cabella’s.
This special video edition of Stuff We Like shows you a real trail lifesaver.

I LOVE snakes ,every summer I pick up at least 9 snakes
He’s Crazy!!! I would not let it go just like that!!!
cool snake i want to know too whats the white snakes name,it looks too cool.
Please tell us more about the white snake. I traveled to the National Zoo and the Baltimore Aquarium to find out what it is. A gentleman at the aquarium thought it was a lucite retickulated python. But I could not find one on the internet.
Thank you.
Yes, please tell us what kind of snake that is on page 14!!!

Please tell us what kind of snake is the white one in the photo on page 14 of the current magazine
Thanks!
In this video, biologist Shawn Heflick tells us about the anaconda, one of his favorite snakes.
duncan metal drifter does not even do the trapeze.
why does my yoyo come up even when i dont tug it up
If the yoyo isnt more than $15.00, then dont buy it. Those cheapo yoyos cant even do the simplest sleeper.
To: everyone that cant do even a sleeper.
Dont get yoyos from wallgreens! Get a duncan metal drifter or a dark magic 2 or any other butterfly yoyos that has metal things on the side.
I just bought a Duncan ProYo. Works great for a begginer like me!
Well I use a Duncan Metal Drifter, and so far its the best yoyo I have ever gotten.
I once got a yoyo from wall greens and it did not work at all
My favorite yoyo is the yomega brain it works so well
i can do that p.s sonic boom Yo-Yos are the best!!!
haha! this dude goes to my church! he taght me how to do some of that stuff personally last summer!
im practiceing looping with a peter fish dominater yoyo
how does the yoyo come back up even though it looks like it stopped spinning? i did that and it wouldnt come back up it was stopped
i am thinking about getting the 0 – YoYoJam Fiesta XX Bryan Figueroa Signature Series #17161 . Wat do u think?!?
when the yo-yo gets to the bottem don,t jerk it just gentle raise your hand up
Is there any place where you can get a yo-yo???? Please someone answer!!!!!!!
I have been throwing yoyo’s since I was a cub (a very long time ago now). The best places to get yoyo’s is online, you have to wait to get it in the mail, but it’s worth it. The best starter yoyo I can think of is a “YOYOfactory velocity.” With it’s adjustable gap, you will go from up and down to spinning “brain twisters” and “buddah’s revenge” like a pro with some practice. Start out with the sleeper, getting it to sleep for 30-60 seconds and you can do nearly any trick.
Major Tip: But a Yoyo with a ball bearing or some sort of floating axle system. Expect to pay over $7 for anything. The cheepo Duncan ($3) or dollar store Yoyos do NOT work well and you WILL be frustrated. Plan on spending $20 or more and you will be set and hooked for LIFE.
Personally I love the Custom brand Axl or Chain Reactor Yoyos. They are lifetime Yoyos unless someone steals yours…
no the BEST beginner yoyo is a duncan avenger you can get one for 10.00 dollars
Thanks guys,but I’m finaly getting a DUNCAN YO-YO off the internet called the FLYING SQUIRREL,it’s a BALL-BEARING AXLE YO-YO for only $10.95
it all started when we had a program at school for a guy called dazzling dave i bought a yo yo from him a few months later we had to move so we put stuff in storage a litte bit later i was digging around and found it i messed with it for a little bit and i was hooked
You can get a yoyo at a lot of places. The yoyos I have gotten were from wallgreens (those yoyos are not very good) but I got the Duncan Metal Drifter from Toys R Us, and it is a very good and responsive yoyo, and it also sleeps alot longer. I got it for $25.99.
I haven’t tryed it so tomorow I’m gonna get a yo-yo and try it
i think i need a better yoyo to do all those tricks.XD with a better yoyo those tricks would be a piece of cake (>’o')>
duncan has the best yoyo’ers and make the best yo
yo
I dont know much about the yoyo he uses, but the best one I found is the Duncan Metal Drifter. Its for sale at Toys R Us.
Nice he’s pretty good. I learned those tricks earlier and this helped clear them up, especially brain twister. Moving on to stuff like split the atom now. Maybe post video on atomic bomb (barrel rolls) that’d be cool.
They take a bit of practice but get easier after you try them for a bit.
i am a yoyo fanatic who lives in california. i use a yoyofactory northstar, skyline, die nasty, popstar, and genesis. my favorite thing to do is freestyle from white buddah. i will be bridging to boyscouts in a couple months. i like your 3a!
Sweet, I too yoyo profesionally, and it’s great to see yoyoing geting this kind of coverage.
That was really cool…..I loved watching the vidoes with my son!
wow that dude has talent.I’m gonna be just like him unless I don’t get my eye poked out by the yo-yo.
Watch as yo-yo expert Alex Curfman demonstrates how to do five yo-yo tricks.
yeah, it does sound funny when you do that. kindov
like the a bunch of people from different spaceships radioing down to earth
at the same time.
yeah everybody look at this it is hilarious if you play them all at once
Former Scout Ken Burns is one of America’s most talented filmmakers. We recently spoke to him about the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, his documentaries and how to get started in the film business.
A good little taste of what went on at the Highland Games. Good job!
Video of participants at the Highland Games, held at Camp Tahuaya near Belton, Texas.
why does everybody say that technology will advance up to a great level? what if it doesnt?
Every month, you have the chance to ask Pedro questions in the Hitchin’ Rack. But earlier this year, it was PEDRO’S turn to ask YOU a question. Dozens of you made videos answering his question for a chance to win a cool prize. Here are the four winners.
Now when people look at Sean Sterner, all they see is an asterix. Don't use steroids, it's not worth it.
How did they get that get all those amazing creatures on camera!!!!!?
I have to say, this is a great, informing, intresting, and is definitly educational video. I only wish that it identified the shown creatures. It was a litle creepy, but in an intresting way.
Omg i saw that last animal the cuddle fish squid when I scuba dived last week
Steven Haddock is doing his best to illuminate what's in the darkest depths of our oceans. As a marine biologist, he has studied his share of unusual and mysterious organisms. Take a look at some of them in this video.
Ok, for that amount of time, This is astounding!
Once again Those Boy scouts Have Rethought the word “imposible”
I think that can be in the Guiniess Book Of World Records 2012!
This is amazing!I never knew a pack of wolfs could make a 76ft.high baseball filed.I will only say this once.A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Five Cub Scout packs came together last winter in Buckley, Wash., to see what kinds of things they could build with Lego bricks. Watch this video of one of their creations, or see photos of amazing Lego creations from around the world.
On a 50-mile journey through the New River Gorge, Scouts come face to face with a mountain of trash, a challenging hike and one monster rapid that can make or break the entire trip. Check out video from their adventure.
That must be fun was it a hard way out?was it like a one way path to the end:?
Next time get a permit. It’s the first rule of caving. Respect the landowner.
They had a permit, acquired through the BLM. And since it’s BLM, aren’t WE the landowners?
Millerton cave is one of the best caving experiences that I have ever had. There truly are a wide variety of challenges and when you add in how slick the rock gets from the water that you get into. Nothing but fun.
Been to this cave a bunch of times. It is great! The video did not show the real sqeeze above the entrance pool since the camera would not fit thru it! There are some really tight ones!
This was a geat event. The pictures and video do not do it justice. The pools at the bottom are large enough to swim through and for an adult it is a very tight squeeze in some places. The boys always have a great time. The pools, holes and cracks carved out of ganite makes this a challenging/fun event for all.
Millerton Cave is the best cave that I’ve ever been to!
THE TIGHT SPACES LOOK EASY TO GET THROE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch as California Scouts get down to walk, jump, crawl and even swim through an underground passageway.
Very awesome to know that our country has such an amazing group to protect our beaches
In the May 2011 issue, Boys' Life magazine takes an inside look at a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter aircrew. Here are some videos that show those aircrews in action.
that would really be bad if you accsidently poured lava on yourself that would be like 9th deggre burns
It's easy to cook up a killer cobbler in a Dutch oven. But watch as these guys actually cook up the oven, too.
don’t worry I wont jman just don’t wake Pedro up
I love the peewee comics…but why is he called peewee ;(
i am sorry to say but pee wees sounds a little to much a teen or tween he should of sounded a little younger.
Peewee’s voice makes me change the way I look at him. That is, in a bad way. I do not like his voice!!!!
I love PeeWee.I thought he whoud sound like Alvin and the chipmunks.Blablabla.He realy sounds like a teenager.Hardieharhar.
in the interveiw in the magizine, it mentions tiger! there is nothing about him here i am a weblo but i still care…..
i would ROFL the moment i if i hadn’t already READ the interview in the latest edition of bl. although i can say i was surprized by the voice of peewee; i expected a higher voice, like alvin and the chipmunks.
ha ha very funny I loved it it was very weaird and crazzy and funny
Pee-wee is my favorite comic!!!!!!! my second fave is Weblos Woody
Yeah Pee Wee has changed over the years but he is the same as ever!
I didn’t know that pee wee started the whole boy’s life comic section. And I didn’t know that he was used as a first aid dummie by some girls. Don’t tell him I said that
If Pee Wee doesn’t want to brag, then why does he go on and on about himself?
If he doesn’t like to brag why does he keep shouting good things about himself!!!???
Very Funny…… coming from a bored 15 year old girl thats saying something
Good voice over, Preston. Proud to say, coming from an Eaglescout! :p
Listen (and watch!) this exclusive interview with Pee Wee Harris.
funny
This trip was truly amazing. I recommend it for any High Adventure Boy Scout Troop or Venture Crew. Note: lots of training needed ahead of time. Set training goals for all participants (Youth and Adults), and if not met, will exclude them from participating.
It was tons of fun!!! and a little scary
but alltogether an awesome experiance
Yeah i love that peak it was really fun to climb
wow you guys must had a lot of fun and great job high venture crew
