In response to Larry Jones posting:
He is 99% correct, let me just elucidate.
The Safety Merit badge is not dropped, it just is not a required MB.
Sports MB is not longer in the required option, but is now a regular
optional MB.
Personal Fitness is now required.
Swimming, Hiking or Biking are grouped together as a "choice of"
requirement.
The Swimming MB requirements will be beefed up and the Second
Class/First Class advancement will have more swimming and lifesaving
parts for advancement. Now for the editorial: it looks like you may as
well just teach the Swimming and Lifesaving MB's in the fall for
advancement. This all kicks in Feb. 1, 1999 and there is only a 60 day
grand fathering period, unless they advance one rank. It will greatly
affect the Life Scouts who are just goofing off and not working on Eagle
projects.
