Les, This is great. Very informative. I know you have been an ardent collector and researcher for many years. Your clear knowledgable explanations, tips, and references regarding other collectors and websites will be of help to both beginners and those with experience. Karin
a knot for earning every merit badge? hopefully, that's never approved. AFAIK, nobody was ever intended to chase every merit badge in some sort of completionist frenzy. if you've Eagled early, your time would be better spent pursuing Summit or Quartermaster. Given that many merit badges provide only an initial exposure to a life skill, career field, or hobby, it would be better to focus one's energy towards mastering something(s) specific: a varsity sport, a musical instrument, etc.
