I was a Boy Scout in the 1960s and though we did a lot of hiking, camping and water sports, no cycling. My brother who is five years younger worked on this merit badge but I don't know if he got it.
I did get my first nice bike while in scouts. A fellow scout sold me his English 3-speed - a Monarch believe - for $20.00 after his parents got him a Schwin 10-speed. The bike was a good buy even though I was only making $1.52 an hour in my part-time job at a grocery store.
My scouting experience has been a big help to my cycling. I recognize trees, flowers, birds and other animals and when touring the camping skills learned as a scout have come in handy. Building a fire, setting up a tent, cooking on a camp stove and first aid are some of the things that trace back to that time. I did earn 21 merit badges and achieved Eagle.
