• American Labor Merit Badge

  Nine requirements, and the first one is not the warm-up it looks like: requirement 2(b) names it by number and asks you to take that list of eight worker concerns to a union and ask which matter most.

Requirement 2 also carries its own fallback, contacting an organization online, so no union office needs to be within reach, and requirement 3 is twelve definitions printed as a single conversation.

• American Cultures Merit Badge

  Five requirements, and the sentence that governs the first three is not one of them: an unnumbered note above requirement 1 tells you to choose three groups, one of them your own, and use them for requirements 1, 2 and 3. That choice also decides whether requirement 1 is possible, because four of its five options need access to a community and only one does not. Requirement 4 then asks about a different three, on a different list of categories.

• Citizenship in Society Merit Badge

  Eleven requirements behind one gate: requirement 1 comes before all the others, and the badge says so itself. Includes the three choices it makes you take, and why the Hub and the Eagle application both fail to list this badge as Eagle-required.

• Citizenship in the World Merit Badge

  Seven requirements and thirty-two parts, but three of them are "do two of the following", one of those is nested inside another, and a Scout who answers the three questions is looking at closer to twenty.
