Cub Scouts to offer a pin for gaming

Boy Scouts of America stated that the Cub Scouts and Webelows are now offering beltloops and pins for gaming.  Wow, this is about 20 years late.  Maybe if people appreciated games in the 80s like they do now, I may have stayed in the cub scouts for longer than a week.  Oh wait, after reading the requirements for the pin and loop, I retract my previous statement.  

For the easy pin/loop, Scouts have to:

1. Explain the importance of the ESRB video game rating system.  Check your games to make sure they are right for your age
2. With an adult, create a schedule for you to do things that includes your chores, homework, and video gaming. Do your best to follow this schedule.
3. Learn to play a new video game that is approved by your parent, guardian, or teacher.

For the more difficult pin/loop, Scouts have to:

1. With your parents, create a plan to buy a video game that is right for your age group.
2. Compare two game systems (xbox, PS3, wii, etc).  Explain the differences between the two.  List good reasons to purchase or use a game system.
3. Play a video game with family members in a family tournament.
4. Teach an adult or a friend how to play a video game.
5. List at least 5 tips that would help someone learning to play the game.
6. Play an appropriate video game with a friend for one hour.
7. Play a video game that will help you practice your math, spelling, or another skill that helps you in your schoolwork.
8. Choose a game you might like to purchase.  Compare the price for this game at three different stores.  Decide which store has the best deal.  In your decision, be sure to consider things like the stores return policy and manufacturer's warranty.
9. With an adults supervision, install a gaming system.

I think its great that educational organizations are embracing the rise of gaming.  I think this is a great way to teach kids at an early age what a healthy gaming hobby can be like.  I also think it will instill a good technological background into kids at an early age.  I know personally, I would not be the tech savvy stud that I am today if it weren't for Atari, Nintendo, and my first PC (which was nothing more than a gaming platform to me then).  What do you guys think of this move?  Do you think it will be healthy for kids at their ripe Cub Scout age?  Or will it set them up to be lazy bums in their future?
