Last year I started 3 merit badges; American Business, Entreprenurship and Salesmanship together. The business we started was selling mistletoe as a troop fundraiser. 17 scouts started this project and about a year latter 7 earned all 3 badges, 2 earned 1 badge. It was a good learning experience for the scouts, not to mention a lot of work for me to supervise, but the troop earned little money because the scouts had to do everything themselves; the parents were not allowed to help.To make money we need the parents help, but I decided the hands-on work was more important for the scouts.
