Watch this video about the new girl scout merit badge on HowStuffWorks. Girl Scouts can now earn a first-of-its-kind merit badge - automotive. Most Girl Scouts are too young to drive a car, but that doesn't mean it's not important for them to have knowledge about something they probably ride in everyday - and will even drive at some point in their lives. See how automotive knowledge works for Girl Scouts in this video from Medialink.
