Worthy of Merit: Nerd Merit Badges

Open Source Nerd Merit Badge.jpg

Missed out on the whole Boy Scout or Girl Scout merit badge thing as a kid? Never fear: You can now wear your geek pride on your sleeve, thanks to Nerd Merit Badges.

The first badge in the series—and the only one available so far—features the Open Source design pictured here. But take note: before you can wear it, you must “make an accepted commit to any open source project.”

Nerd Merit Badges are fully embroidered, 1.5″ in diameter, and backed with Velcro for easy application to “your jacket, your backpack, or the lid of your overclocked, battle-scarred laptop.” Each one costs $3.99 plus $1 for shipping and handling, and if you like you can sign up to be notified via e-mail when the next badge is released.

Geeks of the world, unite!
