Enter the 2012 Boys’ Life reading contest![]() Write a one-page report titled “The Best Book I Read This Year” and enter it in the Boys’ Life 2012 “Say Yes to Reading!” contest. The book can be fiction or nonfiction. But the report has to be in your own words — 500 words tops. Enter in one of these three age categories:
First-place winners in each age category will receive a $100 gift certificate good for any product in the Boy Scouts official retail catalog. Second-place winners will receive a $75 gift certificate, and third-place winners a $50 certificate. Everyone who enters will get a free patch like the one on this page. (And, yes, the patch is a temporary insignia, so it can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform shirt, on the right pocket. Proudly display it there or anywhere!) In coming years, you’ll have the opportunity to earn different patches. The contest is open to all Boys’ Life readers. Be sure to include your name, address, age and grade in school on the entry. Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2012 and must include entry information and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. For more information: Boys Life Reading Contest |
