I too got a "free trial issue" a while back and didn't subscribe. The
information that is gained through reading the ENTIRE articles in
_Scouting_, _Boys'_Life_, and _Pro_Speak_ (if you have access to
it...) as well as YOUR COUNCIL'S NEWSLETTER (and of course, this
list *grinning*) is a lot more useful and a lot more relelant than
Paul's condensations.....but, at the same time, if you are a *really
busy* Scouter (and some of us ARE just that....), then we could use
Scouters' Digest and all of the other items (including FORWARD) to
look at and review before we go and talk with our Scouts and Scouters.
