The other day I received a mailing from The Frontier Culture Museum . Since it is in my backyard, I should have thought of it when I listed resources for the American Cultures merit badge. This is a living history area, with working farms from Germany, England and mid-19th century America.
American Heritage" should have been awarded a lot more than it has. 4,274 American Heritage merit badges were awarded in 2007, out of 1.89 million. ( BSA Fact Sheet ) When I was a kid, we were taught US History in the eighth and eleventh grades.
Hmmm, looks like a rainy weekend coming up. Better make sure the Patrol Box has things in plastic baggies to keep everything fresh and dry. This wet weekend will need plenty of coffee, a merit badge manual, maybe a video, plenty to read and a project to try out.
Bringing a sign-up sheet to work is an easy idea. Older Scouts may be able to bring one to their own jobs. Almost every Scout can ask a parent to bring one in, too. Before you do though, parents should check with the workplace to make sure it is OK.
American Cultures" can be represented in many ways. Different parts of America over the past several centuries have seen the influx of peoples from around the world. Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South and Central America, Australia and hundreds of islands spanning the globe have contributed to America.
Wal-Mart, Target, Books-a-Million, Lowes are all kinds of "big box" stores. They are often supporters of Scouting. While they won't let you walk around inside selling, they will usually let you set up a table outside so you can sell popcorn.
The Patrol Box is clean, stocked and ready for another weekend of fun and Sc outing . There are a lot of goodies below, waiting to help your program out. Merit badges, a fire building video, popcorn sales, and lots to ponder--have a good weekend!
American Business" is in the news a lot today. Good news, bad news. It constantly changes, and seems to have a life of its own. The American Business merit badge is designed to teach you about free enterprise; the relationship between money, business, government, banking and insurance; and labor relations.
