lynn07 10 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 What constitutes "100% Boys's Life" participation in a troop concerning receiving Boys Life Magazine. Some in our committee argue that "each and every boy in the troop must have their own subscription to Boy's Life Magazine" to have the 100% status. The other group says that " each FAMILY in the troop must have a subscription to Boy's Life Magazine" as in if there are 2 or 3 brothers in a family only 1 subscription is needed to qualify for 100% Boys Life participation. Is this written anywhere to prove this rule? Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 In my experience, only one Boys Life subscription is needed per household to reach 100% BL status. Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Our district interprets it as one copy per household - and they take our word on whether we are meeting that goal or not. We actually do one copy per boy. In my household, every boy wants his own copy anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ditto...one per household. We add it to their annual registration, so we are always 100%. Link to post Share on other sites

FScouter 24 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 "Is this written anywhere to prove this rule?" The old Quality Unit Award form 14-221 says "A subscription to Boys' Life will go into the homes of all our Boy Scout members". The new Centennial Quality Awards program 14-175 says 100 percent of families subscribing to Boys Life. Link to post Share on other sites
dancinfox 10 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Since the new Centennial Quality Unit Award committment sheet says 100% of families will subscribe to Boys Life, the that would mean a Boys Life subscription in every household ie:(if there was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout in the family and the Boy Scout was receiving BL, then for both the pack and troop they would count.

ScoutNut 147 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 "if there was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout in the family and the Boy Scout was receiving BL, then for both the pack and troop they would count." True, but the boys would be short changed. There are different issues for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Link to post Share on other sites
