Boy Scout Belt Loops

[John-in-KC]

I'd rather National look at the 1958/65 editions of the Boy Scout handbook and very carefully update them to be environmentally friendly and technically correct in certain other areas (first aid, one example).

Skill awards to me were the way that you could have two different levels and means of teaching for the two different school levels in a troop, belt loops for middle schoolers, and more rigorous MBs for high schools. I miss them greatly. My question is this, since they were dropped in 89 just as most people were just getting dial-up internet, has anyone ever seen requirment worksheets for skill awards that can be downloaded. I work with a number of Scoutreach troops, and I am hoping to use them as a rough guide for their programs.

Never seen softcopies of the skill awards requirements, but would be easy to create. Just get a copy of the BS manuals of the times. There were also colorful skill awards booklets available as well (larger format, and thinner then merit badge pamphlets). I believe these are still available, just without the requirements, but you might need to look. These too would be useful for your purposes, I think.
