I liked how the puzzle skill level required increased with each puzzle. Intentional to correspond to the higher skill award numbers?

Nice little series. My son was in Boy Scouts and this brings back memories!

I thought the top left one was a crested duck doing calligraphy until I looked up a photo of the skill awards.

I joined the boy scouts in late 1989 so I guess I just missed the boat on these awards. I don't remember ever seeing them or even hearing about them, which is surprising if they went out of use earlier that same year (though I do remember having something similar in cub scouts). We had merit badge versions of most of these though, which were "special" in the sense that they had different-colored embroidery on the edges compared to other merit badges, and (iirc) it was required to get all of them to be an Eagle scout. I never got past Life rank, myself.
