Author: BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Title: Cycling Merit Badge Series
Description: New York, NY: Boy Scouts of America, 1933. Early printing. Stapled wraps. Ex-Library. This is a trade sized pamphlet with cardstock covers and a stapled spine. Ex-Library copy (from the Oakland Public Library). There are only three library markings on the booklet - one on the introduction page, another on the first page of the text, and one on the inside front cover. The rear cover of the book has a piece of paper (approx. 2" by 2") stuck to it. There is a tear to the top and bottom spine ends, about an inch on each edge. The text pages are generally clean, though the bottom edges of the pages have tidemarking. There is a previous owner's inked (and penciled) set of notations on the inside front cover. "Merit badges are designed to emphasize the ability “to do” rather than just knowledge. They were designed to “introduce a boy to life” including careers , hobbies, and other skills. In 2015, Signs, Signals, & Codes became the 135th current merit badge, Animation became the 136th current merit badge, and in 2016 Exploration became the 137th merit badge. Of these 137 merit badges, 26 remain from the group of 57 original merit badges from 1911, and 111 have been introduced since 1911. An additional 96 merit badges were created after 1911 that were subsequently dropped. So, all together, there have been a total of 264 different merit badges." (from Henning's Scouters' Pages). Very Good- .
