The camping merit badge for a scout does not correctly display as awarded. In the example below, the merit badge was awarded on 6/10/2025. The Swimming merit badge next to it was awarded on 12/19/2023.

It appears if a merit badge has been marked as counselor approved, it does not update to any other status other than counselor approved. It seems that this is in error and awarded would be a higher status than counselor approved.
