The image shows the Signs, Signals, and Codes merit badge from the Boy Scouts of America. This merit badge is awarded to a Scout who demonstrates knowledge and skill in various signaling methods.
The badge’s design features a compass rose, a semaphore signal for the letter “S,” and a stick figure representing a trail sign.
To earn the badge, a Scout must learn about different signaling techniques, including Morse code, American Sign Language (ASL), and semaphore.
The badge also covers other forms of communication such as Braille, trail signs, and traffic signs.

š #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 – Day 24: Candy Creep š¬
Thereās always one little lurker at the bottom of the treat bowl. You know the one – quiet, patient, maybe fuzzy around the edges, with wide, sugar-shocked eyes. Tonightās āCandy Creepā peeks from behind crinkly wrappers and peppermint armor, waiting for a lull in the trick-or-treat traffic to claim the good stuff.
The Candy Creep isnāt malicious – just opportunistic. A creature born of Octoberās sweetest chaos, thriving on the scent of caramel and fear of missing out. You might hear it rustle when the porch light flickers, or see a faint shimmer of sugar dust as it darts away, clutching its ill-gotten loot.
Itās said that if you leave an extra candy or two behind at the bottom of the bowl – something bright and wrapped in pink foil – the Candy Creep will count you as a friend. Ignore it, though, and you might find your stash mysteriously light come morning.
Tonight, Iāll be generous. A peace offering of taffy for the lurking small things. Thereās room in Halloween for all of us – ghosts, goblins, and the candy creeps who keep the spirit sweet.
