For six months, I was glued to Google Classrooms, attempting to guide ~800 Scouts in earning merit badges.  It was definitely an experience that I don't wan to repeat!  However, I do want to share some of that experience and, in particular, some of the challenges I ran into.  

I love Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scouts), but I wish there was a more uniform standard between Merit Badge Counselors.  When John X. will sign off on anything, whether or not the work was done right (or at all), it sets a bad precedent for when these Scouts are held accountable and made to follow the badge requirements properly.  I had so many Scouts upset that I wouldn't let them squeak without doing the requirements in full.  But, you can hear all about this in my introspective rant!
