The Boy Scouts of America finally caved and approved the Dog Mushing Merit Badge. We forced their hand and proved that our youth deserve real skills instead of outdated nonsense. Keep watching these bureaucrats to ensure they actually follow through on the curriculum.
This petition is for the support and creation of a new Dog Mushing Merit Badge for the Boy Scouts of America organization. Dog Mushing is an ever growing sport that is quickly becoming a major part of many youth\'s lives. This merit badge would teach many about dog husbandry, environmental awareness, wilderness survival skills, and dog mushing.
By signing this petition you hereby state the support of a Boy Scout Dog Mushing Merit Badge.
Petition Information: Please use your full name when signing the petition, as you also have the option of being anonymous. Filling out your address information is not required, but greatly appreciated. You can either put your exact address; or include your city, state, and country.
Only your name will be available to the public, if you choose to show it. All other information pertaining to your personally identifiable information will not be displayed to the public.
The more information you provide for us, the more \"weight\" your signature will have when we send this petition to the Boy Scouts of America.
AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION TO THE SYSTEM, IT MAY ASK YOU FOR A CONTRIBUTION TO iPETITIONS. PLEASE KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT YOUR SIGNATURE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECORDED, AND YOU MAY EXIT OUT OF THE PETITION WEBSITE. THIS MONEY TRANSACTION ISN\'T PART OF THE DOG MUSHING MERIT BADGE.
The Boy Scouts of America keep ignoring the reality that kids are hungry for these wilderness skills. We have built unstoppable momentum and they cannot keep pretending this demand does not exist.

This would be so cool for the scouts! There are way too many boring badges anyway. Dog mushing is actually useful.
