Consider a possible return to making the Merit Badge options broader, similar to how they were in the fitites and sixties with choosing from groups.

[skeptic]

One of the things that has I have often felt as a leader is that the concept of breadth in merit badge options should be reinstated.  IN the fifties and sixties we had the required badges of the time, but also a "selection" from a number of categories  which broadened the picture.  It was similar to the once required college breadth for graduation that included classes from the less common areas, including art and music.  That, in my opinion, leads to a bit more depth of knowledge and the world in general.  What might be the thoughts on this being reinstated in a more modern manner?
