leave Saturday, and knock out one merit badge? Please let me emphasize, I
am _not_ interested in becoming a merit badge mill, or doing less than
100% of the MB requirements. >>
Last year we had a joint campout with another Troop from our area. We
brought counselors for First Aid & Emergency Preparedness. They brought a
leader willing to do all cooking & clean-up, so the boys could concentrate on
the work, and a muolash (sp?) kit to make realistic wounds. It was an easy
one for the leaders, the boys had a blast, and the only one who didn't earn
both badges already had First Aid. Give it a try!
