There’s always more questions about merit badges…

… then I have useful answers because the vast majority of problems with merit badges are structural rather than procedural. But I hate missing an opportunity for a good, old fashioned rant. Listen in while I climb on my soapbox and opine about what I think the problem is, and how it could (but likely won’t) be fixed.

I’ll also answer an email about another troubled troop. Hope it helps!
