The Star Wars Song
The Star Wars Song is a fun and energetic activity that can be used in Scouting programs. It combines music, actions, and teamwork to engage Scouts. The song uses the tune of the Fast Food Song, making it easy to follow. Scouts can act out characters from Star Wars while singing the lyrics.

Boom Chicka Boom Song
Boom Chicka Boom is a call-and-response song that is easy to sing in groups. A leader sings a line, and the group repeats it. Scouts love it because they can add creative styles, like farm, car, or space themes. It’s often used to start activities, fill time, or energize a group. The song is great for building teamwork and letting Scouts practice leading. Boom Chicka Boom is simple, fun, and works well for meetings, campouts, and gatherings. It’s a Scouting tradition that brings energy and laughter wherever it’s sung.

Age Limits for Merit Badge Classes
When Scouts start earning merit badges, they may find that some classes have “age limits.” This can be confusing. Scouts may wonder if these age limits are a rule from the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) or part of the badge requirements. However, age limits in merit badge classes are not part of the official requirements for any badge. They are set by the instructors or organizers of certain classes.

Golf Merit Badge
The Golf merit badge teaches Scouts about the skills and discipline needed to play golf. Whether you choose traditional golf or disc golf, working on this merit badge helps you learn about the game, practice techniques, and understand sportsmanship. This badge is a great way to get active, learn something new, and have fun outdoors.
