Jarvis! Jarvis! I earned my first merit badge! Congratulations, sir! Well done! Let me see now... It looks like a cricket bat! You want it for hitting a long six! It's not a cricket bat... Um... A lacrosse stick? No. It's a dust buster. I won it for dusting and alphabetizing the paperbacks in the counselor's lounge...

Love this, Jim! Even rich, neglected kids, born to parental apathy and given a false sense of value of money, can get excited about small things.
And not every badge has to be only for superstar tasks. Dusting is work too.

obviously a dream sequence, I fully expect him to wake up in a cold sweat from the whole harrowing ordeal of being forced to attend a “commoners” summer camp being forced to do manual labor, and be subjected to brutish behavior by ruffians right before he has his father purchase the real camp to turn it into some kind of tax shelter.

Actually, watching Jarvis kneel down to appropriately admire his badge and cheer him on — something usually done by parents — I feel really sorry for the little guy.

Well done, Sedgwick! Your merit badge is entirely in line with the modern trend towards more “urban” and “practical” badges!Good for you, too, that Jarvis is there for you! Too bad your pater is too busy making even more wealth….
