- Jtsummers 9y agoUnless it’s changed the orienteering badge was about topo maps and compasses 20 years ago. The requirements (pamphlet isn’t free, but requirements are online) seem to indicate that’s still true. This course covers something different and more complex than what the scouts taught us.

- Casseres 9y agoEagle Scout here. So was I, but your experience seems atypical. You probably just had a Merit Badge counselor that went above and beyond. That's awesome! Anyone who wants to give back and help the shape the next generation, you can be a Merit Badge counselor. Just talk to your local council. There's over a 100 Merit Badges, and more than half of them are STEM-related. If you have a career or hobby that's related to one of them, you can share your knowledge, skills, and advice to others. https://beascout.scouting.org/Volunteer.aspx https://beascout.scouting.org/Volunteer.aspx
