Thanks to a link on Slashdot, I just found out about the "Order of the Science Scouts of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique".  It’s a long winded name, yes, but they have a collection of "Badges" that members can earn based on their previous scientific experiences.  The list is pretty varied, but I thought i’ld collect all the ones I’ve earned here for a fun list. 

I put them as a table, so to keep from hogging my frontpage, click thru..[tag:sciencescouts][tag:badges]

So, in no particular order, are the badges that I think I qualify for:

Badge	Description
	The "talking science" badge. Required for all members. Assumes the recipient conducts himself/herself in such a manner as to talk science whenever he/she gets the chance. Not easily fazed by looks of disinterest from friends or the act of "zoning out" by well intentioned loved ones.
	The "I blog about science" badge. In which the recipient maintains a blog where at least a quarter of the material is about science. Suffice to say, this does not include scientology.
	The "I’m pretty confident around an open flame" badge. Recipients have demonstrated proficiency around open flames in laboratory settings.
	The "my degree inadvertantly makes me competent in fixing household appliances" badge. Not necessarily a good thing.
	The "has frozen stuff just to see what happens" badge (LEVEL I) In which the recipient has frozen something in the freezer for the sake of scientific curiosity.
	The "I bet I know more computer languages than you, and I’m not afraid to talk about it" badge. It could get ugly when two or more of these recipients get together.
	The "I’ve done science with no concievable practical application" badge. There are probably more who are deserving of this badge than you would expect.
	The "I know what a tadpole is" badge. In which the recipient knows what a tadpole is.
	The "I’m a scientist who is fundamentally opposed to administrative duties" badge. Presumably a badge with a consensus even stronger than that seen in the global warming arena.
	The "experienced with electrical shock" badge (LEVEL III) In which the recipient has had experience with the electrical shocking of himself/herself. Note: I actually quality for 1, 2, & 3.. but I think higher numbers imply all the lower ones.
	The "I’m into telescopes astro" badge (LEVEL I) In which the recipient has used a telescope to view celestial objects.
	The "statistical linear regression" badge. We figured that if you actually know what those three words together mean, then you deserve a badge. Statistics rock!
	The "I’ve set fire to stuff" badge (LEVEL I). In which the recipient has set fire to stuff, all in the name of general scientific curiosity.
