We cover everything from professional sports to American history to how to pack a canoe. A look at a current list of the BSA's more than 100 merit badge pamphlets gives an idea of the wide range of subjects possible. Even better, look at a year's worth of recent issues. We are found in libraries and BSA council offices. Query Mike Goldman, articles editor.
All stories feature a boy or boys.
We use humor, mystery, science fiction and adventure. We use one short story per issue. Write for a boy you know who is 12. Our readers demand crisp, punchy writing in relatively short, straight-forward sentences. The editors demand well-reported articles that demonstrate high standards of journalism.
