Boys’ Life magazine: Kid tested, parent approved

boys-life-january-2015-coverLooks like kids aren’t the only ones who love Boys’ Life magazine.

For the third year in a row, the magazine that covers everything in a boy’s life has earned a coveted Parents’ Choice Approved Award. Parents’ Choice is the nation’s oldest nonprofit guide to quality children’s media and toys.

When a magazine gets the Parents’ Choice Approved Seal, it means the publication is a “wholesome product that helps children enjoy developing physical, emotional, social or academic skills.”

Here’s what Parents’ Choice says in its Boys’ Life writeup:

Let’s make this simple and straight-forward: If you are a Boy Scout, you should subscribe to Boys’ Life because it’s a longstanding part of the experience. If you’re curious about what Boy Scouts do, you should take a look.
