The ramblings of an ex BSA Varsity Team Coach on Scouting and specifically the Varsity program. My thoughts, ideas and concerns are in no way connected or shared in any form or fashion by the Boy Scouts of America or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who volutold me to serve as a Varsity Coach. Some personal rambling too........... (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster now that the Varsity Program has been murdered........)

Varsity Programs
Varsity Scouts don't work on merit badges as a primary focus. They work on the following programs and then use these to also accomplish merit badges then need for Eagle. Some of them seem a bit outdated and are regional specific (i.e. - How do I teach my boys to cross country ski or snow camping in Texas? I can't even train them here and then go to those climates for an activity. We have had 70+ days of 100+ degrees this summer!) but I think there is a wide variety. Varsity doesn't just have to stick to these. They can create their own! This is what I love about the program!
