Fencing in "Boys' Life" Magazine « Thread Started on Dec 28, 2008, 10:24am »
I saw this on the Ten Thousand Fencers Forum. The author is one Pearce Wilson...
Boys' Life is doing a story about our Venturing Crew fencing team. Venturing is the older/coed program of the Boy Scouts of America. Our kids are 14-20 years old.
Boys' Life is published by the Boy Scouts of America and is aimed at boys 8-20 years of age, though most readers are under 16 years of age.
I'm not sure in what issue it will appear. The photographer came to two of our practices and one of our tournaments last month.
Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of boys will see this article.
If there are any coaches or club owners interested in offering an open house to Scouts, I suggest you call your local Boy Scout Council office and let them know you exist. Scout leaders are looking for interesting things for their kids and what could be more interesting to a young boy that sword fighting!

How strange it is for a nobody to find a reference to himself on the internet!
Hey the "Boys' Life" article will be in next month's (November 2009) issue.
I urge fencing clubs to contact your local Boy Scout and Girl Scout offices and offer an open house or some fencing demonstrations.
We really want to see a bunch of new Scout fencers. We held the first annual BSA-Venturing National Fencing Championship last month. We want to have a 2nd annual Scout Championship next September. So get working! We want to be overwhelmed by the numbers of Scout fencers!
