C'mon people. Scouting still holds to the basic principle of honesty. This fits the Boy Scout law. This makes sense from a values point of view.
It also makes sense from a financial point of view. Do YOU contribute to Scouting? Businesses do. Or at least they used to. This illustrates to businesses the law abiding business honesty that Scouting teaches.
It makes sense from a legal standpoint. Nobody likes lawsuits. Teaching the Scouts to respect others intellectual property helps avoid potential lawsuits as well.
I'm a card-carrying scouter. I'm not sure a Merit Badge is needed. But I agree with the principle.

Pagis Pro (was Xerox now ScanSoft) has a nice feature that lets you automatically OCR and index scanned documents.
I thought I was going to have to scan, OCR, then check each document. But this feature makes it virtually painless. It uses TextBridge to scan automatically as the index is built. It lets you include any text documents on your disk in the index as well.
There is no way to see what the actual results of the OCR step are, but so far it has found every document I wanted to find, even those with names and other words not in the dictionary. Obviously, there must be some errors in the OCR, but I haven't run into them, yet.
The search capabilities are very nice. Boolean logic, including nearness and proximity of words, along with a confidence factor.

It has been very effective for me.
