I get a lot of satisfaction teaching Merit Badges. My favorite is Engineering, followed by Welding and Nuclear Science. Others are Citizenship in Society, Composite Materials, Energy, Farm Mechanics, Hiking, Home Repairs, Personal Management and Sustainability. Its rewarding seeing a young person learn something new about a topic that is outside their normal sphere of influence as well as something new about themselves.
I have two Scouts, 1 from each of our boy and girl Troops, that are really excelling. They both attended NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training - Think Project Management for youth!) last Spring and then NYLT Academy last Summer. They are both taking on more and more leadership positions, including within the OA. And for a Leader, that's what it is all about!
