Doug -
Isn't this fun? We could probably go on like this this all day!
I was never a Boy Scout, but from what I remember anecdotally, once one
has their merit badge, it cannot be taken away (though they can be
stolen and clandestinely resewn onto ones own sash)...
Yet I think there are old Eagle Scouts out there arguing the merits of
flint-and-steel over bow-and-stick or the Bowline vs the Half-Hitch or
Short-Sheeting vs the Hand-in-Warm-Water-at-Night trick.
Surreal-ly yours,
- the Big Guy
