Boys’ Life is the official magazine of the Boy Scouts of America and is published 12 times a year with 5.8 million readers an issue. An important initiative for Boys’ Life and the Boy Scouts of America is Reading Partners, a literacy program that pairs poor readers with a better reader as a mentor. Open to everyone, not just Scouts, Reading Partners focuses on children from preschool to third grade. Boys’ Life Readers cover boys’ favorite topics in the visual, informative style of DK Readers.
