That sounds a bit like every summer camp I went to as a Scout. I earned four merit badges during summer camps - Pioneering, Motorboating, Waterskiing, and Backpacking. The last was Philmont. We just had fun at our camps. The troop in IL had a routine that we sometimes modified - we did a float trip on the Current River, swam in really cold springs, went water skiing, swimming, and motorboating on Clearwater Lake most days, and had some side trips to a state park or two. Those were filled with hiking, fishing, and cliff jumping. In England, the first troop didn't do a week trip. The second one did Philmont and Kandersteg. My sash only has 22 merit badges, but none for all the memories. -
We never had a BOR, other than for Eagle. Maybe we had a rolling BOR? In my second troop, I wasn't aware that we had a committee until 3 years ago, and I left that troop in the summer of '90. The next two troops didn't have them either. We just did our thing. Maybe it was a military culture and the constant challenge of learning and leading were just ingrained.

As expected, he has to wait until January. He was able to complete the Second Class BOR and First Class SM conference on Tuesday. Crappy situation.
