As a person who loves to waste time on Tumblr, I've been noticing this thing popping up called Lifescouts. What I had initially gathered from the blog was that you get badges for the different activities people should do in their life. Then Alex Day (nerimon) posted a video about how Lifescouts was his brainchild because he always wanted to collect badges like a Boy Scout but never signed up. Check out his video here. I've been meaning to join in on collecting badges, but instead of doing it on Tumblr, I wanted to post it here. The next couple of posts are going to be about the Lifescout badges I have collected and why I think I have earned the badges.
The first badge is:
Now I've gone hiking and climbed mountains, but definitely not mountains like Kilimanjaro or Everest. And my mountain climbing experiences do not in any way include rappelling or helmets, but even without the extreme danger I've had great times with my parents. My most recent encounter with mountain climbing occurred while I was on break from college with my parents and cousin. A popular attraction close to where I live is Chimney Rock. Unfortunately I wasn't able to climb up to the waterfall due to ice, but the views from the "chimney" and other attractions like the "Opera Box" still made the trip worth it.
I encourage you guys to go to the Lifescout tumblr and look at the other badges available. If you want to get involved then reblog the badges and write about your own experiences. You can also buy physical badges that look really awesome and collect the badges that way!
Badge count: 1
