<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 2467891, member: 26371&quot;]Designed the merit badge?&nbsp; Good heavens, no.&nbsp; It has been in existence since the 1930s.&nbsp; Boy Scouts of America national headquarters has a committee which oversees the merit badge program; it is NOT ad hoc, or up to the merit badge counselor.&nbsp; It&#039;s a tightly regulated program, with over 130 merit badges available for the Scouts to earn.&nbsp; Each has a guidebook with specific requirements that the Scout must meet before being awarded the badge.&nbsp; As a counselor, I&#039;m responsible for teaching, guiding, and mentoring the Scouts, but they do all the work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
