The Gators have been working on Citizenship in the World merit badge, with Dr. Baker as our counselor.  Most of us have at least 5 out of 7 requirements done.

This merit badge requires a lot of work, but it can still be fun.  We learned a lot about US citizenship and citizenships in other nations.  We studies maps, governments, and current events.

A few of us went to the Greek festival in Minneapolis.  It was awesome!  I learned a lot about Greek Orthodox culture.

 We have worked on this merit badge at 2 separate patrol meetings, and many, many hours at home.

It's tough, but it's fun.  We're learning a lot.

Sincerely,

Nick B
