Yes, the Atomic energy badge is very popular yet, BSA had it first then girl scouts came on board i think. VA Power near Fredricksburg has one of the best programs in the country to earn the badge, they make an all day program out of it and allow the scouts to camp just outside protected area, hard to sleep with the turbin noise. 



Remarkably, a geeky kid in Michigan years ago was working on this badge and went crazy with passion for it, he worked two years to create a chain reaction in his back yard tool shed and irradiated a whole city block. Needless to say he did not make eagle scout but finally got the authorities off his back by going in the Navy. I hope it wasnt the nuclear navy.



Scouting forever....
