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.

Computer Merit Badge
Started: 10/5/12
Completed: 10/21/12
This was an interesting merit badge. It says to give a short history of the computer so we had to rent a movie and watch it but the movie was kind of cool. We used the internet to find a lot of information about computers and even how the internet works. Explaining the way computers store text, sound, pictures, video files was difficult. It was written in 1967, however, it will be discontinued at the 2013 Jamboree which we didn't realize until after we started it. I started this blog as an option for this Merit Badge.

Reading Merit Badge
Started June 24, 2012
Completed Aug 24, 2012
This wasn't a hard merit badge. You mostly read and I like to read. I used some school books to help me finish it. It was time consuming since you had to read six books and keep a log on them. (Which I wasn't good about remembering to fill out.) I also volunteered at the Library for eight hours even though I only needed four. The Library was having a book sale so I helped set it up and moved a ton of books.

Horsemanship Merit Badge
Started August 10, 2012
Completed August 28, 2012
Okay the Horsemanship Merit Badge has got to be my favorite merit badge so far because I really like horses. As we found out I'm allergic to them, but that didn't stop me. I got my horse back riding lessons from a really nice horse named Legacy (Legs for short). Since I was getting horseback riding lessons I decided to do the Horsemanship merit badge. The hardest part of the badge was reciting the parts of a horse and saddle. There was a lot of reading with this merit badge, you had to cover fire safety, types of horses, common diseases, hoof care as well as be able to ride and care for a horse.
