    You know scouts, the kiddie orginisation where you do all that camping stuff to earn badges. Well now they are offering a badge up you can earn it by playing videogames.

    This is pretty sad really. You can play SC2 and get a Scouts badge for it.

    it seems actually earning the achievement below in real life would be really hard for some people.

    This is exactly what I think. Except for the camel bit.

    Also, the organization continues on to age 18, and even further for adult leaders. However, shark is right in that this specific award (belt loop, not badge) is definitely for the "kiddie" bit of scouting (fifth and sixth graders).
