The Associated Press reports:

  A Boy Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, etc., etc. He is also respectful of copyrights. Boy Scouts in the Los Angeles area will now be able to earn an activity patch for learning about the evils of downloading pirated movies and music.
  The patch shows a film reel, a music CD and the international copyright symbol, a "C" enclosed in a circle.
  The movie industry has developed the curriculum.
  "Working with the Boy Scouts of Los Angeles, we have a real opportunity to educate a new generation about how movies are made, why they are valuable, and hopefully change attitudes about intellectual property theft," Dan Glickman, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in a statement Friday.
  Scouts will be instructed in the basics of copyright law and learn how to identify five types of copyrighted works and three ways copyrighted materials may be stolen.

  I have no idea what it normally takes to earn a Boy Scouts "activity patch," but I actually kinda like this idea. A picture of the patch is available here.
