    Why is it that this item is still back ordered? Robotics Merit Badge Kit Out of stock CUST-15010

    I believe all the individual parts are available... I'd like to direct Scouts to a page where they can buy all these parts at once. Whether it is an actual "kit" or not the Scouts really don't care... Just want to make the purchase easy for them.
