American Labor Merit Badge and Labor Day |
As the school year approaches so does Labor Day. Many scouts may not be familiar with this merit badge or Labor Day as a national holiday. This is an appropriate time to consider the American Labor Merit Badge with the ever-increasing rate of globalization of the economy and multinational companies.

Reviewing the issues from both sides of the strike might help to make this merit badge come alive.
In 2015 the following was provided by the BSA. “It is estimated that one out of every four top unit leaders of Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, and Venturing crews in the United States is a union member.”
