I only made it to Star Scout before I quit. I just became entirely disinterested in it. And this was before I did drugs.

I made it up to first-class, and then quit. I noticed that bad weather seemed to follow me on every camping trip I went on.

Me too!
After a while it just got really annoying because even if the weatherman predicted a sunny day and cloudless night, without fail it would be cloudy, chilly, and rainy during the campout.

Rain just makes a campout more fun. Any Eagle Scout can tell you that!

I actually once got a merit badge for bad-weather camping, due to one particular snow camping trip in which we snowshoed in for a few miles. Upon getting there, the temperature was just high enough to rain, rather than snowing. Getting hypothermia on the way back sure was fun.

 I also got hypothermia on a Scout outing. It was a cross-country skiing trip.
I don't recall there being a "Bad Weather Camping" merit badge. I did however get seperate merit badges for the following:
Camping
Wilderness Survival
Weather
Combine those and I guess it would qualify as "Bad Weather Camping".

Wilderness Survival was a fun merit badge to get, probably my favorite. We sat around a fire that I had to keep going all night in the middle of no where, with no flashlights or sleeping bags or anything, just some matches. That was cool. And yeah, I don't remember a Bad Weather Camping badge either

I'm an Eagle Scout. I credit all all of my love of camping, hiking, and getting away from it all to my time in scouts. We had a very active troop. I got to do Philmont, Boundary Waters, cave camping, and winter camping too.
