Re: "Remote-control" merit badges -- was Genealogy

You know Stan, despite your "handle" fitting your comments appropriately, one
has to wonder about it. Given the current regulations youth-protection-wise
about merit badge counseling this may be a valid option.

Speaking from personal experience, I taught Computers MB at our Merit Badge
College in February -- three sections of two class meetings of 70 minutes
each. I am finishing up with these Scouts (40 of them, very few members of
common Troops) via telephone, email and snail mail. Those regulations aside,
I think it would be impossible to counsel this many in person.
