I earned my Signaler Badge when I was in Boy Scouts way back in the early '70's.
That badge was dropped around 1990 something but revived for the Hundred year anniversary.
Requirements
To obtain a Merit Badge for Signaling, a Scout must:
- Make an electric buzzer outfit, wireless, blinker, or other signaling device.
- Send and receive in the International Morse Code, by buzzer or other sound device, a complete message of not less than 35 words, at a rate of not less than 35 letters per minute.
- Demonstrate an ability to send and receive a message in the International Morse Code by wigwag and by blinker or other light signaling device at the rate of not less than 20 letters per minute.
- Send and receive by Semaphore Code at the rate of not less than 30 letters per minute.
- Know the proper application of the International Morse and Semaphore Codes; when, where, and how they can be used to best advantage.
- Discuss briefly various other codes and methods of signaling which are in common use.
I went on to the 'Order of The Arrow' shortly after that.
