Anchors Away!

Anyone familiar with Boy Scouts knows that in order to be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, one must complete (at the time of my Eagle Scout) twenty-one merit badges and a number of them were Eagle-required badges.  These badges included First Aid, Citizenship in the Community/Nation/World, Communications, Personal Finance, Family Life, and the list continues.  A boy was also required to earn a certain number of elective merit badges.  If my memory is accurate, some of the elective badges I earned were basket-weaving, shotgun-shooting, firemanship, and small boat sailing.
