Could someone add the date the Merit Badge requirements were last changed. Its nice to know the requirements came out of the 2007 merit badge book but it would also be helpful to know when the requirements were last revised. For those of us that have been doing this for a long time and don't buy a Merit Badge Requirements book every year, it would be nice to know the date the requirements were last revised. This would be a clue we need to revise or standard program. | Could someone add the date the Merit Badge requirements were last changed.
