It doesn't sound as good as you would think, but the Scouts have added a Video Game Badge to the list.

1. Explain why it is important to have a rating system for video games. Check your video games to be sure they are right for your age.

2. With an adult, create a schedule for you to do things that includes your chores, homework, and video gaming. Do your best to follow this schedule.

3. Learn to play a new video game that is approved by your parent, guardian, or teacher.


This, to me, has nothing to do with the soul purpose of gaming: getting the high score or most frags and rubbing it in your friends' noses! But I doubt thats something you would see the Scouts support...

fake edit: Actually that looks like a Cub Scout thing since it's a belt loop.

Then you could make the IWBTG and Twin Galaxies High Score badges! (WARNING; NON-MASOCHISTS NEED NOT ATTEMPT SAID BADGES) :p

I agree. And have it so any age can join but have separate age groups. We don't need 10 years old kids hanging out with 30 year old kids.

Ah, but then you can get the pin after that by doing...

1. With your parents, create a plan to buy a video game that is right for your age group.
2. Compare two game systems (for example, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Wii, and so on). Explain some of the differences between the two. List good reasons to purchase or use a game system.
3. Play a video game with family members in a family tournament.
4. Teach an adult or a friend how to play a video game.
5. List at least five tips that would help someone who was learning how to play your favorite video game.
6. Play an appropriate video game with a friend for one hour.
7. Play a video game that will help you practice your math, spelling, or another skill that helps you in your schoolwork.
8. Choose a game you might like to purchase. Compare the price for this game at three different stores. Decide which store has the best deal. In your decision, be sure to consider things like the store return policy and manufacturer's warranty.
9. With an adult's supervision, install a gaming system.


Number 8 has to be some sort of joke...
