Author's Review
Well, I can tell you something. First of all, a little background information. I myself am an Eagle Scout; so, every year of my boy scout life I got a monthly subscription to this magazine. Now being a boy scout, one would think I myself would enjoy it the most. The truth couldn't be farther. I found myself getting them in the mail, and throwing them in a pile in the back of my room. Inside there are sometimes neat stories of sports heroes etc., if that is your sort of thing. Personally, I am not one for big articles in magazines unless they are some sort of fortelling or news. I myself was never one to enjoy articles that were short stories, but if you are then you may like the magazine. It does have an outdoors feeling to it, which I do enjoy, but does not give me reason to buy it other then the fact that I am a boy scout, or was I should say. Bottom line is this, if I wasn't a boy scout I wouldn't ever buy this magazine. The main reason I got it was because it came with membership in the BSA and my troop paid for it. If you like short stories about the wilderness, however, you may actually like this magazine. For me, I have found better uses for starting fires...although it does give off a strange green flame, that can't be good.
