Although letting people in on the ground floor rather than giving them the arcane stuff first... simple practicality? (and there are much better sticks to beat the Scientologists with). Totnesmartin 05:59, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- Well, yes, sure, you need to learn things in the right order. However, I am reminded of my old Boy Scout handbook and the way the rank progression works. You have to learn and pass the Tenderfoot stuff before you can become the next rank, but you can still get credit for higher rank things (like you can get hiking and camping stuff checked off for 2nd and 1st Class while not yet a Tenderfoot). And the handbook (and merit badge pamphlets) contain all the information you will encounter for you to read at any time. (Except for some of the Order of the Arrow stuff, of course, but that is a side track) human
