I fondly remember getting my cycling merit badge many years ago. Fifty miles seemed like such a long trip, I think they even gave us a time limit to complete the ride IIRC. I think the original spirit of scouting has many similarities to rivishness, which is part of the appeal of both. I'm partial to the insistently minimal politics of grant though, the scouts has frustrated me lately with what some of their officials ups have said and done--it was not (and I don't think is/hope isn't usually) the trend at the grassroots level across the states during my experience there. Too bad I feel the need to distance myself from that area, and don't wish to send this off topic--scouting on the whole is great!
