Editorial content will be reprinted columns and articles from recent Cub Scout editions of Boys’ Life.Mini-mags will arrive at council offices around June 19, 2015. Quantities per council will be as ordered.

There is no cost to councils for the first 30 boxes of mini-mags Boys’ Life provides annually.The purpose of the mini-mag is to aid unit-serving executives and volunteer leaders with the acquisition of new Boys’ Life subscriptions.

Here’s how to make the most of your boxes:

1. Get mini-mags into the hands of your unit membership chairs for distribution at Scout nights, boy talks, craft fairs, field days, or other community events.

2. Offer a mini-mag or two to current Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, encouraging them to share it with non-Scouting friends.
3. Use them in addition to your recruitment fliers for a stronger marketing effort.
4. Keep a cache of mini-mags in the council office and with each district and unit membership chair or district executive to use in recruiting throughout the year.
5. Need more mini-mags? Boys’ Life has plenty!
