Back in the ‘70s, the Boy Scouts went “Urban”, trying to increase the amount of Black scouts. I remember they altered the requirements for getting a cooking merit badge. You had to fry an egg on the stove in your apartment.

they've been watering down the standards since about 1972 when they came out with the green book and skill awards. It was pathetic and the Boy Scout Handbook is just as bad today with too many pictures and not enough skills. Just try to teach some Nature, you can't find it! And try to find a troop that still cooks its meals with wood fires, nope it's low-impact camping with chemicals: propane--the easy way out.
