Tyler Dion at the Held Action blog (http://heldaction.wordpress.com/
2010/06/16/scouting-and-dungeons-dragons/) picked up on my posts about
D&D in the scouts, and covered the subject much better than I did,
uncovering some more info on the UK scout badge, as well as finding a
great blog post by a scoutmaster (http://www.melrosetroop68.org/blog/?
p=791) who introduced his troops to D&D:

"I will never forget the first game I hosted. Two of the Boy Scouts
played. We created their characters and began the game, which only
lasted for fifteen minutes before those characters were killed by
monsters. I learned a lot about being a game master during that short
time. I had managed the game by the rule books. I needed to use the
books more as guidelines and fit them to the gameplay. Once I began
doing that the games lasted longer and they were more fun. More boys
wanted to get in on the action. Nearly 100 boys have played in my
world during the last thirty years."
