Sadly, articles like this one are what give Merit Badge Colleges a bad name.

 

Quotes from the article:

 

>>>Earning a Boy Scout merit badge can be a time consuming process. For a number of area Scouts, however, that process took them just one day.>There are 11 required badges to become an Eagle Scout and a minimum of 21 badges must be earned. Some of the badges require more concentration than others. The one-day crash course allows scouts to focus all of their attention on the project at hand for one day.

 

It gives the Boy Scouts a chance to earn merit badges very fast with a one-day crash course. They can get a majority of the requirements out of the way in just one day, said Dr. Daniel Robinson of Troop 545, who was conducting the veterinary medicine and animal science course. Its a way for us to give the kids the opportunity to get a merit badge in a hurry. We super-saturate them.could also take courses on citizenship in the community, in the nation and in the world as well as communications, personal management and emergency preparedness.
