merit badges!!!!

From: (mohmers@aol.com) | Date: 2001-02-07 07:20:17 UTC-05:00

The merit badges offered will be F (for found), P (for planted), X (for
exchanged)
The denominations will be 10 , 25, 50, 75, 100,
Before now, I haven't considered above 100. What would the Web Masters
like to see offered here? 150, 200, 250, etc or more of a challenge like
200, 500, 1000 ? :oP

Let me know, Mohmers

THose wanting to order just send a self addressed stamped envelope to
Kay Mohmers
112 Dale Ave
Collinsville IL 62234

$4 per merit badge. Please clearly specify the Letter and Number.

To avoid confusion with the order that Val is sending in, there is no order
form yet. So it is up to you to write neatly. :o) {gufaw}
This is only for merit badges not the logo patch.

I don't think its up to the webmasters, but up to the list (or the
letterboxer that want these things). The webmasters aren't interested
in setting policy for the hobby.

I think the question is how many different denominations can be gotten
in one run? I don't know how these things work, but if the limit
is 5 denominations per run, I would throw the 75 and/or the 10 overboard
and replace it with a 500 and 1000. The 75 definitely seems useless,
IMHO :-)

It also depends on how frequently one of these orders can be mustered.
If it is more than once a year or more, getting 500s at least in the
pipeline now makes sense.

So, if it were me, I'd do 25, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and sort of make
that a standard, for now. But like I said, I really don't understand
how these things work. If we can do 10, 25, 50, (75), 100, 500, 1000
now, fine, but I personally would order a 500 if one were possible.

I think that the text showing the counts under 100 should all be black. 100
should be Gold, and then maybe use a silvery thread for the 200? At any
rate, my basic idea is that maybe there could be a different color thread
for the text of some chosen number such as 100, 200, or even 500 which i'm
sure is an attainable number given the number of boxes in the WORLD.

Thanks Kay for considering the kids in your denominations. I think
increments of 25 at the lower end are important. We are trying to
encourage participation so a little reward is due. You will be
getting our order soon. Carol
