Whether you’re a parent or a Scout leader (or both!), the May issue of Scout Life is full of fun, cool facts and awesome activities. Here’s a sneak peek at what your kids will get:

They’ll be able to ID that weird chirping noise in your backyard: Kids will meet tiny chorus frogs and learn how they make big, loud sounds — almost like they’re putting on a concert!

They’ll be prepared for a safe but super-fun summer: We’ve got everything kids need to know about paddleboarding, staying safe in the sun and why taking a swimmers test is important.

They’ll be inspired by the latest STEM inventions: A laundry-folding robot? A lollipop that plays music inside your head? Kids will be amazed at the latest technology.

They’ll help protect the planet: After creating a monarch butterfly habitat, kids will understand how important these fliers are to the environment.

They’ll be able to say what they think: Subscribers can sign up for the Scout Life Reader Panel (check the last page) and share their ideas with the magazine. It’s their chance to help shape future issues!

There’s so much more to explore, including reader faves like Scouts in Action, Think & Grin and Pee Wee Harris. So grab the May issue and dive in with your reader!
