Curious if anyone teaches Radio Merit badge for Scouts?
My son earned his a couple years ago. It was cool; he did it on the USS Hornet CVS-12

It was pretty cool. They had newer equipment, but also had restored older equipment. For the merit badge, they talked to someone across the Bay. After that, one of the counselors was there talking with someone in Nicaragua.
I have also read of Scout Troops, and schools, arranging with local HAM's to talk to the International Space Station...
