Merit badge collecting
I'm submitting my article for peer review because this is a subject I deeply care about. I'd simply like it to be as good as it can be and I'd appreciate any constructive feedback. I hope to have it submitted as a featured article later. Rlevse 14:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)


 * 3rd sentence: All known Scouting organizations around the world issue merit badges. This is definitively wrong. A great number of the European Scout associations don't issue such badges, e.g. in Germany or in France. --jergen


 * Thank you. I'll change that.  What do they do that might be the equivalent of merit badges?  Thanks for the feedback. Rlevse 00:37, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Please see my talk page. --jergen

It might be worth including something about Pathfinders, who are similar to scouts, who have what they call "honours" which are the same as Merit badges. MyNameIsNotBob 03:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


 * When including the Pathfinders please mention also the Royal Rangers. --jergen 09:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for all your inputs. While I'll likely talk more about non-American Scouting and non-BSA, I don't want to go too far into it as it'll drift away from the topic of the article. Thanks everyone. Rlevse 13:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

FYI, I've renamed the article Merit badge collecting (BSA), which I almost did in the first place-;) Rlevse 16:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I've made the suggested changes (well 98% of them anyway). The article really looks good. If you have more suggestions, please put them here or on the article's talk page. Rlevse 00:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
