The lifesaving merit badge was the hardest for me. Lots of swimming and you have to lift a weight out of the deep end of the pool. Didn't help the camp that we did it at was at a high elevation in Colorado.

Unfortunately I didn't stick with it long enough to go on any of the famous backpacking trips. That being said, Boy Scouts was a valuable experience that offered some cool experiences no other organization offers around that age.
