My step father will be taking over his son's boy scout troop next week, and that equals automatic contribution from me. This seems like a pretty neat project, which might end up being the one I try do w/ them.

What troop? 34 here. I would agree with these points. The best merit badge experiences come from hands on, fun interactions with the subject matter.
