Zman 10 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Is there any place to find back issues or a listing of what may be in a back issue of a BL issue. Also is ther any national list of award of heroism reciepiants? Link to post Share on other sites
dsteele 20 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 There is an annual index of Scouting magazine articles available, but I'm not sure about Boy's Life. Yes, national does maintain a list of heroism awards, but I'm not sure it is published anywhere. I can look into that stuff at the office on Monday, if you'll send me a reminder. It seems the older I get the more my memory suffers. Dave Link to post Share on other sites
Laurie 10 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I'd love to know how to get this list, but more importantly, how to get back issues themselves. I've great confidence in Boys Life; no matter which issue it is, it's always a good one! Link to post Share on other sites
KoreaScouter 13 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 If you can't get back issues from National, try your local library. Many have subscriptions, and will simply discard after they're a few years old. KS Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Bear 12 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 If you have a specific year or decade or an article, I might be able to cross index it. The role of honor for heroes, if it exists, most likely is out of the seventies. Give me some clues. I have collected Boys Life for several years. I buy, sell and trade as any normal patch collector does. Since my collection is varied (i.e.,within some rational limit) Scouting items, I cross trade. I try to specialize in Scouting books, especialy fiction (Scouting approved generally). If your interested, lets throw down the virtual trading blanket and look at some Scouting stuff.

scoutldr 732 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 There are usually "vintage" issues available on eBay. Naturally, the older, the more expensive, and those with Rockwell covers go for as high as $10 each. Out of almost 200 purchases, I have never had a bad experience. Link to post Share on other sites
Zman 10 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks for all the responses. The reason I asked the questions, We found a certicate of heroism in a closet at our charter org. It was dated 1960. To make a long story short. We found the reciepiant. I would like to dig up as much Information on the event as possible. Including wether Boys life had ever mentioned it in their Magazine. Link to post Share on other sites
dsteele 20 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Ahhh -- I wasn't sure what you were looking for. Call the National Scouting Museum. It's not part of the national office, although the buildings are adjacent. You should be able to find them easily on the internet or by calling directory assistance in the Irving, TX area. Ask for the archivist and give him/her the information you seek. They have a corps of volunteers who research such things and will get back to you with the best answer available within a few days. Good folk, they are. Yoda-talk. DS Link to post Share on other sites
louclark1806 10 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I have 3 copies of Boys Life from 1965 which I am wanting to sell and wondered if anyone would be interested. They are September, October and November and are all in good condition. Link to post Share on other sites

MattR 2659 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Welcome to the forum, @Charlie49 . I think you have the record for reviving an old thread. Well done. Anyway, what's the range of dates of the magazines? Link to post Share on other sites
dk516 29 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 @Zman 1911-2012. I have not looked at the App yet for newer ones but I have been using articles once in a while to post a flashback in the Troop newsletter. https://scoutlife.org/wayback/ Link to post Share on other sites
