Hi Dan,
Yes. Thanks. I was a scout for a while. I didn't get very far. They stopped
having scouts at the Western PA School for Blind Children because the
teacher who was the scout master retired because he was not well. My wife
and I helped with cub scouts for a year when my son was in it. That was a
very nice experience.
Thanks.

Hi James,
None of the people are getting badges for the project directly. However,
the boy who is conducting the project will be getting his Eagle rank as a
result. This is his Eagle project.
We do have some other boys who are participating who are considering using
a
similar project as their Eagle project. They might take a project of
scaning a group of other meritbadge books. There are approximately 160
meritbadge books in all. this project is only processing all the Eagle
rquired books and then some of the elective books. We started out planning
to do all the meritbadge books but it quickly became evident that that was
much too ambitious a goal. The folks doing the books in the project are
taking severla hours to do each one.
Once the project is completed I plan to do some myself over the long haul.
They will come in a few at a time.
As far as other books, I understand that another scout has done a project
of
scanning books of other types for Bookshare as his Eagle project. I am not
aware of his name or anything like that though.
Does this explain it?
