The PDF versions of the workbooks have been designed with form fields.
Scouts may download these files and then type their notes into the form fields,
and save their work locally. They have been tested successfully
on computers with Windows operating systems with the
Adobe Acrobat Reader, the
Foxit PDF Reader,
and the Nuance
PDF Reader on Windows based computers. Each of those programs
are available as free downloads. Although we have been told that the Mac "native"
PDF Reader program (the program that is built in to the Mac OS system software)
does not properly render the files, we have determined that they should work
properly when used with the
Adobe
Acrobat Reader for Mac, which is a free downloadable program.
Keep in mind that these workbooks are OPTIONAL aides, and that each Scout
must complete the requirements as written. If the requirement says "Show,
"Demonstrate", or "Discuss", then that is exactly what the Scout must do.
He should use the workbooks to prepare notes to himself, and should not assume
that filling in the workbook is sufficient to earn the badge.

should be sent to the BSA advancement team at:
