Puzzle Description:

Skill awards were part of Scouting from 1972 to 1989. You needed them to move up the lower ranks to First Class. They went on your belt for your scout uniform. I sort of always wanted to get all 12, when you only needed 8. I got 10 and don't remember the two I missed out on. Some seemed a bit too simple for an individual image. Family Living, First Aid (arm in sling,) Citizenship, and Hiking (compass rose). The puzzles that inspired this are Brian Bellis's (3, 17757-9) and Glenn Crider's (24538-9). Maybe this will help someone else dig out an old puzzle/experience to share. NOTE: version 2 deletes one pixel that showed the arm out of the sling.

I enjoyed solving this, Andrew...your commentary is equally as interesting to me.
