I used to be a Boy Scout and I only got 3 of these. I tried "citizenship" and variations on that, didn't recall those 3 specific ones. I should have at least gotten "hiking"- I know that was one of the ones I had. Have the badges/requirements changed since the 1980s?

Family Life did not exist in the 1980s. Also the cycling, hiking, swimming trio became earn one of the above. The rest are as I remember them from the 1980s. Eagle Scout, February 23, 1984.

The list does change occasionally, as splnkr noted, Family Life was added in 94. Safety used to be required, but was dropped in 99, and at the same time they changed the Personal Fitness/Swimming/Sports option to be Personal Fitness plus Cycling/Hiking/Swimming. In 2013 Sustainability was added as an option for Environmental Science, and in 2014 Cooking was added to the list, making 13 total required, and 17 with the silver border.

Yes, you should update this list with cooking. It was added relatively recently.
