Signs, Signals and Codes: new merit badge

[cockpitbob]

The Boy Scouts have a new merit badge and it's requirements are impressive:
Morse, semaphore, ships flags, sign language and braille, cryptography and general signs and markings. 

I doubt my boys will get this badge, but it's encouraging to see the BSA has put this kind of thing back on the list.
