Did you know kids who read Scout Life stay in Scouting three times longer than those who don’t? And they’re more likely to advance in any Scouting program than their peers.
But more importantly, did you know Scouts LOVE reading the magazine? Take this letter we received from Patrick T. of Troop 320 from Birmingham, Alabama, this month:
I just wanted to say I love your magazine and it makes my day when I receive one. My friend is a Scout too, and hopes to earn Eagle Scout. … We both love the magazine and hope to be in it one day!
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a young person — one that pays dividends for their mind, body and spirit — search no more.
Here are three reasons a Scout’s perfect gift is just a few minutes and clicks away:
1. A subscription serves a purpose much larger than checking off a wish list
Research shows Scouts who stay engaged with the program experience huge long-term health and wellness benefits. Each issue is focused on literacy and written strategically to challenge young readers (but remain within their comprehension level).
And what’s more, everything about Scouting and Scout Life, from Nature Crew roundups about animals to trek adventure features, aims to get kids outside and away from their devices. What gift is better for developing minds than that?
2.You never have to leave your house to purchase a Scout Life subscription
If you’re in the midst of the holiday shopping craze, a digital purchase with a tangible output probably sounds refreshing right about now.
Purchase a Scout Life subscription online and land 10 issues a year right in your Scout’s mailbox.
3. Scout Life is incredibly affordable
A one-year subscription is only $24 and two years is $41. That makes Scout Life one of the most cost-effective gifts you can choose, especially considering that troop stories, skill-building features and DIY inspiration in Scout Life are like a superfood for young brains.
BONUS reason: This gift lasts
Yes, we’ve covered that a Scout Life subscription can impact your Scout’s future inside and outside the program. But tangibly, your young reader won’t just get to unwrap a present that has news of their subscription; they’ll also get an exciting gift in their mailbox and on the Scout Life app 10 times a year!
Snag a subscription today. Then gift it to a young person to fill their year with awesome adventure!
