has some early and later illustrations from Troop 142. They might help you decide if this is the book you are looking for.
Paul Joins the Scouts? He joins the Cub Scouts, which would fit your description of the image. Google has tons of images from inside the book.


Publish date was May 2013; and I am pretty sure I saw it in a "Best of the Year" issue of Entertainment Weekly (which comes out in late December 2013; which would line up with me remembering it around April 2014 when I first posted)
The art isn't quite what I remember (my memory thinks the boy was a little younger than the Paul illustration); but we're talking about seeing a single panel in a magazine review from two years ago.

The blurb talked about the book being about a Boy Scout with : Special talents/powers? A hidden life? A dark side? A special imaginary friend? Something like that…It showed one of the illiustrations ; which was a black and white panel of a young boy reciting the Cub Scout Promise in his room (in uniform). I remember being intrigued by it and wanting to read it; but now I can’t find the title.
Unfortunately; I don’t remember if it was a review (meaning it’d be a new publication) or a “best of” list (meaning it could be older). I tried going through all the old EW’s I still had around the house; and searching their reviews on their site; but nothing . Does anyone have any ideas?
