  • One merit badge that I took to heart was the weather merit badge. To this day, I still remember going to the counselor's home with some of my troop ... the cool part was that he took us to the municipal side of the Salt Lake airport and he showed us several satellite photos showing weather patterns (long before they were animated on the news). If you scout is interested in doing the weather merit badge, I'll be the counselor. Please have them fill out the worksheet(http://usscouts.org/mb/worksheets/Weather.pdf) and email me a copy when done. For 9, do option A. For 10, have them write down their talk and give it to your family.

  • On a side note, later in my teenage years, as a family, we would go water-skiing several times a year and knowing the signs of impending bad weather became very important. A few years ago, we were at Rockport Reservoir and we noticed a bad storm rolling in. We pulled the boat off the lake, put the water toys away, started policing the pavilion and our group camp site. All just in time to get pounded by a fierce, yet short summer storm. The sun soon re-appeared and we started to get back our activities when a park ranger stopped by asking if we had seen a paddle boarder. My brother had seen him while clearing the beach prior to the storm hitting, but hadn't seen him since. He didn't give head to those beckoning to come ashore. He was overtaken by the storm, and didn't survive.
