Luckymama Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 How about the Boy Scout Personal Management merit badge book? http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges/mb-PERM.aspx Your ds is definitely the right demographic. And it would be secular and easy for him to do on his own (with your or your dh's input as needed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
