While overall, this is a great merit badge to work during the great 2020 pandemic, Item #1 requires an in-person visit to the local library for a tutorial and exercise in using the card catalog to find books which is a valuable lesson. Many scouts have already had this tour as part of their public school curriculum. For those scouts who have not should be strongly encouraged now to do all other requirements now (reading and book reports). There will come a time very soon when local libraries will reopen and those librarians will be very excited to give you the library tour!</font> | |||

* '''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/bookseries/B00CKCVW5S Brotherband Chronicles by John Hanagan]''' - "They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage." - A great example of the BSA Patrol Method during the days of Early Vikings. | |||
