and their official OS Initiative web site:

And a link to Merit Badge requirements:

On first glance, there's loads of stuff the Boy Scouts could use Open 
Source for their merit badges, fund raising, etc.  Seems like we should 
contact them to see how we can help...I know someone here in Atlanta 
that may have a contact, but if anyone else has a contact for the 
national level, let me know.  I'm currently exploring working with a 
local Atlanta Boys and Girls club person to set up K12LTSP in several 
clubs here in Atlanta, seems like a good start.

Best, Daniel
