Why the next issue of Scout Life is a must-read for kids

Cover of the April issue of Scout Life magazine

Whether you’re a parent or a Scout leader (or both!), here’s what your kids will get out of the April issue of Scout Life.

They’ll start begging you for a canoe. Our coverage of a Scout outing down the Rio Grande will help inspire your kid’s next adventure.

They’ll get a sneak peek into the upcoming moon launch. Scout Life readers have the inside scoop on the latest exploration news: NASA’s upcoming mission around the moon, scheduled for this week.

They’ll learn how to survive quicksand. OK, so getting stuck in quicksand isn’t very likely. But our cover story about hiking through slot canyons in Arizona and Utah will show them the fun and excitement of this outdoor adventure — plus a few survival tips, JIC.

They’ll be all geared-up. From camping gear to daypacks, this issue has tons of advice for what Scouts need for the perfect trek, whether it’s an overnight trip or a two-hour hike.

Their voices will be heard. Encourage your Scout to become a Scout Life influencer by joining our reader panel, in which kids can take surveys to share ideas directly with the magazine. Details are on the inside cover, or have kids go to go.scoutlife.org/team.
