There was a lot going on at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree including a talk from Mike Rowe – known for his Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs. Take a peak and listen….
Here are a few merit badges that line up perfectly with Mike Rowe’s talk! Remember, Work Smart AND Work Hard!
And also after February, 2014 the reactivated Mining in Society Merit Badge.
Thanks for the update – I was talking to a parent last fall and it was his perspective that all merit badges were career opportunities because the last requirement for most merit badges is –
Find out about three career opportunities in _________. Pick one and find out the education, training, and experience required for this profession. Discuss this with your counselor, and explain why this profession might interest you.
