Hi guys
I agree with Burt that the sports merits should be only available to those who are
accomplished in it. But we should also keep in mind that we shouldn't just tell a boy
that they can't earn the merit because he's not accomplished in the sport, perhaps
they like the sport very much but not good enough to play. Perhaps get better
requirements but leave out the have to play the sport. I believe that should be up to
the Sr Commander and Commander of the group to decide.
Any comments ideas on that?
