Waterskiing Merit Badge - NEEDS to be UPDATED!!!!

[coffeelad]

I would like some help in finding out how to get this merit badge updated or changed.

We just finished a week long event for our troop trying to help our kids get this merit badge. while most of them have either kneeboarded or Wakeboarded. They just could not get the hang of skiing on the one ski.


It desperately needs to include kneeboarding and Wakeboarding, just like the snow sports includes snowboarding.

It should be a "Water Sports" Merit badge and have 3 courses, one for traditional skiing, one for KneeBoarding and one for WakeBoarding.

I would be LOVE to help with sugesting some criterion.

Thanks
