C'mon people. Scouting still holds to the basic principle of honesty. This fits the Boy Scout law. This makes sense from a values point of view.
It also makes sense from a financial point of view. Do YOU contribute to Scouting? Businesses do. Or at least they used to. This illustrates to businesses the law abiding business honesty that Scouting teaches.
It makes sense from a legal standpoint. Nobody likes lawsuits. Teaching the Scouts to respect others intellectual property helps avoid potential lawsuits as well.
I'm a card-carrying scouter. I'm not sure a Merit Badge is needed. But I agree with the principle.
