Re: Robotics Merit Badge
A Robotics Merit Badge would be a nice way to bring in new Team members and expand FIRST's exposure as well. I was attracted to FIRST by the common underlying FIRST and BSA precepts.
For the past few FIRST seasons our Troop SPL & ASPLs have happened to be on the Team. A quarter of our Team is typically made up of Scouts in any given year, and two of the adult mentors are also Scoutmasters. Our Troop schedule miraculously complements the FIRST travel schedule, however, the Scouts tend to disappear for several long weekends during the FIRST build season.
All my MB counselor slots are filled, but I can drop a little used MB and replace it with a Robotics MB.
