Our boys would not wear the uniform ... until we went to Fall Camporee and bunked with a crack outpost whose boys were in uniform and they looked sharp.  Our boys wanted to know why they didn't have uniforms.  I didn't remind them of their desire not to be caught dead in one, I just gave them the info on getting it.  In short order, our outpost was "uniformed."
 
Same for merits.  At the sectional pow wow, they saw other boys who looked like a 5 star general with a chest full of merits and awards.  They started asking how do I get those?
 
In short, exposure.

Here's a question for the group.  What are some successful method's you've used to motivate a boy how is more interested in the games and activities of Royal Rangers than he is earning merits?
