I have created this website to help you with the Programming Merit Badge.  Please feel free to download anything from any of the pages, especially the sample programs (Scratch code is up on its own page now, go check it out).  The Documents page has documents which are relevant to the MB as well like the Cyber Chip and the Worksheet and some of the information pages which I have handed out.  Have fun.
