Combining MBs

[shortridge 184]

 

In another thread, SSScout reported on the rumor that BSA is going to combine some merit badges to free up new MB slots, offering up the ideas of combining Pets and Cooking ... Wood Carving and Forestry ... Motorboating and Waterskiing.

 

My sources in Irving tell me that others are under consideration. A partial list, including the new MB names being debated:

 

American Business + American Labor = Economic Gridlock MB

Coin Collecting + Entrepreneurship = eBay Business MB

Nuclear Science + Emergency Preparedness = Three Mile Island MB

Archaeology + Climbing = Indiana Jones MB

Crime Prevention + Computers = The CSI Effect MB

Photography + Graphic Arts = Photoshop MB

Public Speaking + Citizenship in the Nation = Political Candidate MB

Horsemanship + Crime Prevention = Texas Ranger MB

Plumbing + Scuba Diving = Summer Camp Pool Maintenance MB

 

So what are y'all hearing?

How about

 

Forestry and Pulp and paper -- Life cycle of a tree MB

Astronomy & Space Exploration -- StarTrek the BSA generation MB

For the conspiracy theorists among us, how about:

 

Citizenship in the Nation + Citizenship in the World = The New World Order Merit Badge

Carpenty + Space Exploration = Build Your Own Space Station MB

Woodworking + Animal Study = Trojan Horse Building.
