As Prepared As A Boy Scout

Having never been a Boy Scout but knowing well their reputation for preparedness, I began to think about merit badges. Maybe in the future I will put together a list of merit badges for us preparedness-focused adults, however, for the moment, I am enthralled by the merit badge information list I found online at http://www.meritbadge.com/worksheets/ If everyone in the US completed such a list of tasks, we would be well on our way to preparedness for any disaster and have a greatly improved overall level of education in a nation where we continue to decline, education-wise, against other first-world countries.
