Say Yes To Reading

Write a one-page report titled “The Best Book I Read This Year” and enter it in the Scouts’ Life 2022 “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: 

• 8 years old and younger 
• 9 and 10 years old 
• 11 years old and older 

First-place winners in each age category will receive a $100 Scout Shop gift card. Second-place winners will receive a $75 gift card; third-place winners, a $50 gift card. 

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 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 Scout Life readers. Be sure to include your name, address, age and grade in school on the entry. 

Send your report, along with a business-size, self-addressed, stamped envelope, to:

P.O. Box 152079
Irving, TX 75015-2079

Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2022 and must include entry information and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
