Has anyone seen a new book or even more importantly the requirements. Our council just completed a merit badge college and all our boys that took Atomic Energy were told the second weekend that the MB was being replaced by Nuclear Science. The counselor didn't now if the rquirements have changed or not. When I got wind of this I contacted our scout shop and had them hold back 7 Atomic Energy patches. She told me that once they sold those out they would not get anymore. I agree with once a scout starts a merit badge he has until his 18th birthday to complete but, what happens when the badge is no longer available to award?

I'm new to scouter.com and the forums. I was browsing around the other day and found this to be a very informative site. Information just leaps out and it seems that you can get well thought answers to most questions. A little about myself. I'm as assistant scoutmaster for my troop and have been for 5 years. Before that I servers as cubmaster for 4 years. I am an Eagle scout, a vigil member of the OA, and have 1 son in scouting that is also an Eagle. I have deep roots in scouting and I believe that scouting provides our youth a basis for life. I look forward to being an active participant in the forums.
