LauraT7 13 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 My son was delighted with this month's Boy's Life - he loves all of them anyway, and reads them cover to cover. but this month's feature story is about a former scout who makes backpacks and who made his FIRST backpack as a scout years ago. it shows that there IS some interest and usefullness in having a sewing badge at least available to the boys. there is also a small page on basic hand sewing skills - how to hem, stitch a seam and sew a button. It's a great article - if your family doesn't get Boy's Life (if you are one of many dedicated scouters without a boy currently in a troop) you might want to check the issue out at your local library! laura Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I saw it. That is also very kind of what he does for vacation- go give out free backpacks and make repairs for backpackers on the AT. Link to post Share on other sites
