Merit Badge: JournalismPublic Group

The power of the pen cannot be underestimated, especially when you don’t have opposable thumbs.

Journalism is one of the driving forces that helped build this great country of ours. Cat Scouts who master the art of writing well will be looked up to by all the other scouts. And, you can contribute to your troop by being the troop scribe, or by writing the troop newsletter.

To earn your Journalism Merit Badge you must have published a book (“Poopology,” for example), contribute to a blog, or write for a publication like Cat Fancy or Cat Scouts Today. Post a link to your book, blog or publication in the Journalism Merit Badge group. You’ll earn 10 Karma points for this badge.

      Mauricio replied 8 years, 8 months ago

      Hi Ali, Those of us who have blogs are mostly writing about cats…either ourselves or general cat-related things. I have seven sisfurs and our blog is 90 percent about us and the nine kitties who came before us. And lots of us who have blogs are now writing about Cat Scouts somewhat regularly.

    Along with my mom and my seven sisters, I have been writing the blog, The Cat on My Head, since July 2012. Our blog can be found at http://www.thecatonmyhead.com. My most recent posts were: “Thankful Thursday with Mauricio” and “Man-Cat Monday with Cat Scout Mauricio.” Hope to join so many of my friends who already have this badge.

About Cat Scouts™

Cat Scouts was formed for cats to have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of dozens of other Cat Scouts around the world while learning valuable scouting skills.

Chains are only as strong as their weakest links, and so too, a country is only as strong as the cats who run it. We depend upon the purrsonal integrity of Cat Scouts to make this country strong.

Becoming a real Cat Scout isn't easy. It requires self-sacrifice. You’ll have to give up a few naps and a few purrsonal pleasures for the sake of other cats. It means living up to the Cat Scout Oath and the Cat Scout Law.

With the Cat Scout Handbook as your guide to good citizenship through Cat Scouting, I trust you ON YOUR HONOR to strive toward becoming a real Cat Scout and the kind of mancat our country needs and deserves.

TERMS OF SERVICE: Cat Scouts is a community for cats to share the Cat Scouting experience and hone their scouting skills. Please, no adoption pleas, purrs/purrayers requests, or any other non-Cat-Scout topics. If you would like to engage in social activities outside the realm of Cat Scouting, please join Catster. Cat Scout members retain full ownership/copyright of media uploaded to the site. Cat Scouts reserves the right to use that media on Cat Scouts' social media sites and promotion on Mousebreath Magazine.
