One of the things that has I have often felt as a leader is that the concept of breadth in merit badge options should be reinstated. IN the fifties and sixties we had the required badges of the time, but also a "selection" from a number of categories which broadened the picture. It was similar to the once required college breadth for graduation that included classes from the less common areas, including art and music. That, in my opinion, leads to a bit more depth of knowledge and the world in general. What might be the thoughts on this being reinstated in a more modern manner? -
This is a good point. For those of us at the far end of the org of a large corporation, legal requirements are just that, requirements. I was on a church board with someone who was pretty high up in a large org. When we said that legal said we shouldn't have wine at a church auction, some of were like that is settle, legal has spoken. This person made it clear "that is the advice from legal, but legal doesn't set the business direction". That was an eye opener for me when you are at the level of a company that sets the direction which may or may not align with legal. -
I agree nothing is totally safe. But if you offered an event you are expected to show due care in the event. And attendie's understand the risks -
Absolute safety is a mirage. Sometimes things just happen, even with every precaution. And every effort to find perfection will fail, no matter what. And in this country, the legal vultures constantly circle because we let them.

"Little Libraries" are a very valued community project, often done as Eagle Service Projects. As to the idea of making them somewhat "Nature", "Outdoor Literacy" oriented, that too has been done and is a worthy goal. I have known of at least three Little Libraries done as either part of an Eagle Project or the Project itself. One was a nicely done one that involved TWO Little Libraries at two separate State Parks, the nature books specifically elicited and donated for them. https://littlefreelibrary.org/ https://www.facebook.com/Littlelibraries/
