Collections Merit Badge

            Hi this is Marcus and I earned the collections merit badge. I  have a billion Lego bricks so I used my Lego collection for the badge. I had to do a lot of paper work explaining the growth, development and care of the collection.
I started collecting Lego's when I was two, my older brother Neil got a few sets and I liked playing with them. I liked this merit badge, it was easy, fun to let someone learn about your collection.
On a scale from one to ten, this badge gets an eight.







Notes from the mom:
This is a great merit badge.  Most boys collect something that can be used for this badge.  I signed up to be a counselor for merit badge for the boys in our troop.  I've seen some amazing collections such as: model airplanes, cars, PEZ, books, and even candy wrappers from around the world.  Each collection is as unique as the boy who collects it.  The great thing is that it gives them an opportunity to evaluate their collection as a collection.  Cost: nothing, since it's a collection they already have.
