Wanchanagi Fireside Chat & Historical Merit Badges

Last night I was at the Wanchanagi Roundtable for the Fireside Chat. Sorry about arriving late, I was off on the time, but thanks for the standing ovation. We covered a lot of ground and it was good to see everyone.

Yesterday I found this article (http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2010/01/historical-merit-badges-help-boy-scouts-celebrate-scoutings-past.html) about four Historical Merit Badges that are being brought back for 2010 only. They are tracking, signalling, guiding, and carpentry. They have to be started and finished in 2010 and can be used as elective merit badges for rank advancement. We are looking at having at least some of these available at summer camp. How cool would that be for a scout to be able to point at one of these on their sash?
