I did locate a marksmanship badge issued to scouts in the Phillipines...
Guess we could issue some rock salt loads for use by the scouts against these child molestors trying to get legally sanctioned to prey upon the youth of our nation.....
You can earn a merit badge for 22 shooting as well as the shotgun merit badge. Venturers can earn awards for handguns.
Not true. The BSA offers 3 shooting sports merit badges; Archery, Rifle Shooting, and Shotgun Shooting. The Rifle Shooting merit badge can be obtained using either a standard .22 rifle, an air rifle, or a black-powder muzzle loading rifle (actually, they usually use Pyrodex). The Marksmanship MB went away when Shotgun Shooting was created, but Rifle Shooting took it's place.
