TIGARD -- George Christensen needs two sashes to hold all of his Boy Scout honors.
Tonight, the 15-year-old Tigard High sophomore will receive his final five merit badges, the last of 137. That's every badge available to scouts, including four special badges available only for the Boy Scouts 2010 Centennial.
Each badge represents a new skill learned, a leap into an unfamiliar world or a fun adventure. Christensen keeps mementos in his bedroom: A hunk of steel he welded in a box, pottery in his drawer, a bag of golf clubs in the corner and a scuba mask on the nightstand.
Few scouts do what Christensen did. Boy Scouts of America does not track how many members receive all merit badges, but confirmed such cases are rare. An unofficial website tracking these achievements confirmed about 200 cases in the organization's 103-year history.

wrong forum......again.
