Pet Care!
Started: Oct 1, 2012
Will complete: January 31, 2013
I started raising chickens two years ago. I think that is why this Merit Badge is taking FOREVER! The requirements are easy for what you write up. All you really do is explain how you take care of the animal BUT you have to track your care taking for 4 months! UGH!!!! So the paper work is done and other then the daily checks I put into the chore chart... I am done... plus I thought you wouldn't mind some pictures of some Chicks :)

Coin Collecting Merit Badge
Started: 10/15/12
Completed: 11/1/12
This was interesting. I got to go to a coin shop and ask all sorts of questions. My Mom gave me her coin collection which made the badge pretty easy. You had to collect 50 coins from 10 different countries as one possible requirement. This sounded harder then it was. Most coin shops sell foreign coins in bulk by the pound I already had a good start from my Mom's coins it didn't take much. It was fun looking at where the coins came from. If you need help the US Mint has tons of information on the US Mint Site.

Personal Finance Merit Badge - (E)
Started: 10/09/12
Completed 12/09/12
Okay, the Personal Management badge is really hard and long...but it's an Eagle Badge so that is probably why. Anyway, you have to come up with something you want to buy and a goal for how to get it. The thing I wanted to buy is a bigger TV and the goal was to save $25 a month. When I discussed it with my family and we decided to change it to $50 a month so it could be purchased in a year. The reason its long is you have track your predicted expenses, actual expenses predicted income, actual income for 13 weeks.
