Creating New Merit Badges

I wonder how a new merit badge is created? To whom would I send a suggestion for a new merit badge? What is the procedure for creating a new merit badge? I can think of two new merit badges:

 

1) Americana History: That is the study of American History from the start of WWII to present day. This is more of the products and life styles rather than the study of events and dates. An example of this would be the study of the hamburger or soft drinks, drive in theaters, life without electronics and etc.

 

2) Old West: This would the study of the westward migration, manifest destiny, The California Gold Rush, Wagon Trains, pioneers, life on the trail, the forts along the way, the hardships faced on the trail, the reasons for going west, Native Americans, homesteading, ghost towns, and of course, the law men and the gun fighters.

 

There really could be a merit badge on or about Native Americans and their true history.

 

Thanks for the help...
