Rifle and Shotgun shooting on my sash. My dad did both of those plus Archery among his 42 merit badges. I enjoyed archery, but there was a limited amount of time in scout camp. I only went once in my scouting career. Earned First Class, swimming merit badge, rifle shooting (marksmanship), and canoeing merit badge that week. Music and bugling were a natural fit for my skill at playing trumpet in the band. Electricity and Electronics were easy and a nice fit. Lifesaving was a bit of an endurance experience. Had to go to Balboa Scout camp daily for a week to earn that one. Fingerprinting was fun. You had to print and submit two sets of prints that had to be acceptable to the FBI. It was all lots of fun and very practical.

Outstanding!

I’m glad the Scouts still teach “defensive” skills. I sure enjoyed & appreciated my time with BSA.
