The Pioneering Merit badge was a very fun merit badge to complete with the troop. Our troop leader taught us the entire merit badge in three work days. This merit badge was different from the rest, instead of just filling out a paper you could learn it hands on. Some things we made were a self-standing tower, a bench/chair, and even some rope. I thought that our tower was the most fun project because it was cool to build it as a group and when it was finished the structure was really impressive. Being able to work with other scouts on the merit badge made it 100% better than it would have been. Overall the Pioneering Merit Badge was a good activity to learn together and have fun.
