Eagle732 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 For Civil Disobedience is it required to join the Wall Street protesters or the Tea Party? Is Thoreau's book required reading? I can see requirement #1, Show that you know first aid for and how to prevent injuries or illnesses that could occur during protesting activities including injuries from handcuffs, pepper spray and rubber bullets.

moxieman Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I heard they're teaming up with "The Boy Scout Store" and coming-up with official requirements for the badges they offer starting at: http://www.boyscoutstore.com/spoof-custom-patches/spoof-merit-badges/ I think the Slacker MB must be the toughest one to earn, 'cause if you're trying to earn it, you're not slacking.
