great site. Im looking to buy a copy of November 1956. The Gizmo robot thats in there I build myself in 1957. Its a great project and want to use it for a scout project now.
Thanks for a terrific archive of a great magazine. I had forgotten I received it (early 1960s) even before becoming a scout. After all these years many articles and photos still seem familiar. And a chess column by a young Bobby Fischer– wow. My son is just starting scouting and I will order him a subscription.
I remember all those ads for the greeting card sales clubs in the late 1970′s (STAR WARS era). I used to do those all the time. My first prize I picked was a model rocket kit, my mom bought all the boxes required. Now I am actual rocket scientist, and my son just got his first issue of Boy’s Life this past week.
Thank you “Boys Life.” My sons enjoy your magazine as much as I did when I was young. Your fine values of Faith, Family and Nation remain intact. My grandsons will get your magazine too.
Sure, we had plenty of sweaters that looked like that, only we didn’t get them until the 70′s. Looks just like we dressed, say 73 or so. happy scouting
last year was my schools first year playing football we started a 8 man team and made it to the unofficial state semi finals it was a blast thanks for digging up this article
I think the WAYBACK Machine is wonderful. I have been looking for an article for 50 years. and there it was! Is it possible to get a reprint of November 1956 pages 74-75?

It’s great history for 90 years long since 1920!
