The BIG list
Every year, our researchers go through the rigorous (totally serious) work of testing toys to see which should top Scouts’ lists for the holidays. And as usual, we’re also doing a massive giveaway of the coolest toys we tried. Did we mention, you can enter to win these toys now?
A Cub Scout hiked Machu Picchu
Jack Jeffers was just eight years old when he hiked to Peru’s most famous mountain via the Chachabamba Inca Trail with his family. He’s one of a handful of impressive Scouts gracing the Headliners section of Scout Life for November.
Know someone else who should land on the Headliners page? Let us know.
Make carrot apple cookies
Scout Life fall how-tos always promise to be festive. But this month, they’re also delicious.
Give thanks for America’s largest land mammal
Bison get a special shoutout (and a reminder of their November celebration day) in the issue. Readers will learn some pretty cool facts about these North American creatures and find out what special protections exist for the animals.
Mess kit picks for campers on the go
Gear Guy fans, rejoice. The man himself is back to answer reader questions about mess kits and dry bags. Plus, he shares a few of his own top gear picks for the month.
When cars fly
The day when cars go sky-high might be sooner than you think. For November, Scout Life showcases a car coming soon that works more like a plane. It’s called the AirCar, and you can learn more about it in the newest issue.
Change your clocks
Our monthly calendar always keeps Scouts ready for the cool things happening in the upcoming month. But November marks a literal can’t-miss event (unless you want to be an hour early for the next half year). Yup, daylight saving time comes to an end in November.
Following a path steeped history
November is a month for reflecting on United States history. That’s just what Troop 362 of El Cajon, Calif., accomplished as they walked in the footsteps and canoed the same waters as Lewis and Clark. Check out more about this Montana trek in the latest issue.
