Cat Scouts is not just rolling out a new merit badge today; we are rolling out a new and faster way for you to get merit badges credited to you!
Since Cat Scouts are, by definition, an honest bunch, we are launching a self-policing method of merit badgery. In each group, and with each merit badge’s achievement description, we will post a redemption code for all to see. Once you have posted your photo or video in the appropriate group, you can use the redemption key to get the badge. The form appears in the footer and right sidebar of every screen.
Here’s the catch: If an unscrupulous “Scout” tries to game the system and add badges s/he has not earned, they will have ALL merit badges (even the earned ones) revoked, and they will start back at zero Karma points and zero merit badges. And they will be subject to the derision of their peers.
If you are unsure if what you’ve posted is sufficient to earn a badge, you can always message us (@catscouts or via denmaster@catscouts.com) and we’ll check it out and let you know if it passes muster.
We know that sometimes we can make honest mistakes (the denmaster does all the time, as you know), and if you realize you’ve erred, let us know and we’ll fix it. If you have demonstrated that you are a Cat Scout of high moral standards in the past, we will give you some leeway.
The denmaster will still review all of the merit badge activity, but it is hoped that this will remove any backlogs that occur and free up the denmaster to add new features and fun to Cat Scouts. And, you’ll get your badges a lot faster.
Just give us a day or two to update the site with all of the redemption codes.
Now, for the newest merit badge: The Meatloaf.
This may be the easiest merit badge for the Cat Scout to earn. Get a photo of yourself in your very best meatloaf pawsition, and you’ll earn a merit badge and 10 Karma points.
Post it in the Meatloaf merit badge group. Share meatloaf stories!

Me again….I hope you don’t think I’m a pesky Scout. I was going to redeem my Automotive Merit Badge but there is only one code. I am riding, not driving. I know the Karma points are different.
Thank you

I do this every now and again but like to have a paw out in the fresh air. A Scout has to know which way the wind blows
It is a cat rule that you have to have one foot hanging off.
This could be difficult. I am one of those cats that likes to sprawl out. I’ll have to do some practicing. Purrs, M
This one’s hard!! I don’t meatloaf much around the house. For some reason, I seem to only like to do it in public. Lucky for me…I go out in public a LOT!
I’m going to really have to work on this one. I almost always sit with my paws stretched all the way out!! Oh well, a Cat Scout knows not everything is easy!
I too stretch then I curl up. Will have to see if mom can catch me in a meatloaf position.
I’m almost always in that pawsition.
Me too, Sushi. 🙂
Great idea, Denmaster! I am going to start practicing my meatloaf camera poses!
What exactly is a meatloaf pose? I have an idea but want to make sure I am on the right page with this one.
@gracie Here’s an example: http://postimg.org/image/e9zghew5j/
The meatloaf pawsition is when you are sitting in a cubic fashion with your front paws tucked under you … and you look a little like a meatloaf. Or banana bread.
Brilliant idea, Denmaster!! And Meatloaf??? Yes!!
Oh I’m gonna get this one! The mom calls me meatloaf all the time!
Ha Ha Ha 🙂
Meatloaf is yummy! MOL!
I almost never tuck my paws in… This is gong to be tough!
