I think its pretty awesome but isn't being apart of the girl or boy scouts about being outside and not inside

Outside the (cookie) box and into the open world of technology.

That's a good way to look at it.
I'm sure the Sims doesn't count as a go outside game right

I don't think the Girl Scouts are very outdoor-focused (they've always been less so than the Boy Scouts). As for the BSA's merit badge, it's supposedly going to be for Game Design. Still inside, but not quite as sedentary as merely playing.

Yeah, its game design. I was pretty skeptical at first, but it actually looks pretty cool when you go through the reqyirements for it. Too bad it appears most news outlets can't see past "video games."

Well, they just care about whatever will get them more readers. I haven't actually looked at the requirements, but my dad wasn't impressed.

Your dad might not be impressed, but considering some of the exceptionally lame merit badges available, this is pretty awesome.

Not bad. I probably would have tried to get it when I was in scouts. But overall a lot of the newer badges are kinda lame

I didn't know that. I don't think my little brothers have gotten that.

Looks pretty reasonable. I didn't do Cub Scouts, so I don't know how difficult/easy/meaningful things would be at that age.
