Help on Citizenship in the World merit badge!?

• I'm a boy scout in troop 557. I need really big help on requirements 3a, 3b, 5a, and 5c! Please! I need HELP!

• Answer:

  Well, to start off, you need to discuss some of these things with your merit badge counselor. But lets see if I can point you in a good direction or two: 3a & 3b - I would suggest you look at (and discuss) the recent developments in Korea - with the launching of its (failed) rocket - and the history involved with the leadership there. (Ask some ''old people'' - 40 years old or more - about North Korea's activities over the past 20 years or so.) 5c ?? Seriously? You can't find where the countries are on a map? Sigh.. truly our American educational system has a lot to answer for... and it appears they are hoping to get graded on a curve... Try using this to get a few ideas about different types of governments - and where they might be located. (Search the interesting ones on Google to find where they might be on a world map) https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2128.html http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Citizenship_in_the_World
