[Ansteorra] Cookies and merit badges

[Richard Threlkeld]

The adults in Boy Scouts have a series of awards for accomplishments they
wear on their uniforms. Not exactly Merit Badges, but similar. We have
instructor patches, office badges, Wood Badge beads, Sliver Beaver, Silver
Antelope, etc. All these are more like what we do with adults in the SCA.

Are there any Adult Merit Badge Systems?

It's interesting to me that the conversation has turned so much to children.

Is it because of the association of merit badges with Boy Scouts?
