[Bobwhite Blather] Summer camp, or merit badge factory?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'Summer camp, or merit badge factory?'

Summer camp is one of Scouting's great traditions. For youth and adult alike,
it's great to get away for a week or more, camp under the canopy of trees, enjoy
the fine summer weather (yes, even the liquid sunshine!), and get back in touch
with the great outdoors and what's really important.

However, most camps are set up just like school. Scouts are up and off to
breakfast, then fill their days with a schedule of classes. There's a short
break for lunch. Dinnertime comes around, and there are more merit badge
opportunities in the evening. If a Scout wants to work really hard, he can earn
seven or eight merit badges.

Is that the point of going to camp?
