Dunno. But seeing as I already earned the Girl Scout cycling merit badge a zillion years ago, "earning" a Rivendell merit badge would seem almost redundant. For my Scout badge I had to help organize a bike safety rodeo for the local Brownie troop (we invited the Cub Scouts to participate as well so our numbers would look better), fix a flat tire all by myself, plan a troop bicycle ride of at least 10 miles long (for Junior Girl Scouts, ages 9-12 and three parent chaperones) and assign other scouts to help me transport a picnic lunch for up to ten riders. The last was lots of fun. We started in Walnut Creek and took a 13-mile loop through Concord and Lafayette before ending up back at Walnut Park. The scouts were all fine, it was the parents who struggled with the distance. I felt sad because my mother, who was the assistant Troop leader, had never learned to ride a bike, couldn't go.
I was eleven when I completed the badge, and well on my way to loving bicycles forever. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethness/3352745506/ On second thought, it seems that those who attend the not-quite- annual Rivendell Weekends already get some kind of badge for their efforts... http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/508855834/ Beth On May 14, 10:42 pm, Lynne Fitz <fitzb...@comcast.net> wrote: > so, like, what WOULD a Rivendell merit badge look like?
