Peregrine Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) I'd like to see this as well - how do Merit Badges translate into Hero skills, what are the requirements for each rank, etc. This could have a lot of use for any 20th-21st Century setting (or beyond, if you postulate the Boy Scouts or a decendant thereof continuing to exist in the future). Besides, what better background for a four-color super than Eagle Scout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) As an IRL Eagle, Order of the Arrow, and currently ScoutMaster, I would posit that any given merit badge would translate into a Familiarity skill level. So for instance Horsmanship would equal Fam: KS Horses 8- and possibly Fam: Riding 8-, another example would be Camping which would equal Fam: Survival 8-. Most ranks would be window dressing but at the Eagle Rank I could see it as a 1 point perk, as being an Eagle has opened several doors for me as an adult.

This link takes you right to the list (http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/). Badges in bold are Eagle requirements. Click on a badge name to get the requirements for the badge. From a realistic standpoint, I'd call having earned any merit badge the equivalent of an 8 or less skill roll. For a more idealized (and more "game playable" version) call each one the basis for an 11 or less skill roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's reassuring - I was thinking the same thing, 8- familiarity for realism, 11- (or CHAR-based) for cinematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Serpent Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) My memory might be blurring in a home-brewed package, but I *think* there might be a Boy Scout Commando Corps package deal in Autoduel Champions , along with packages for autoduellists, MONDOs, Brotherhood and Paladins members.

Teflon Billy Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) I agree for most part that Merit Badges would at most give a Boy Scout a 8- familiarity. In general, any Scout who's been in it long enough should get Survival in whatever they're local climate is. TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) Wow.. by that write up, being an Eagle Scout is 60+ points worth of skills... pretty impressive in a system that says most 'normals' have only an 11- PS and an 11- KS in their own profession, even if they've been at it for 20 or 30 years. I'd tend more towards the "PS : Boyscout" with maybe up to 5 points of other stuff added for things he was really, really into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethosos Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: [Package Deal] Scouting (Boy Scouts) As an Eagle Scout myself, I also want to point out that one should also have an Urban variant for big-city Boy Scouts. Oh, they do get to go camping and stuff, but their skillset would be shifted towards community involvement and other urban stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
