They still can earn credit towards a Merit Badge for using a Heliostat,  neede
code for that.  . And as a side note while not really "Code" related they still
teach signal  Flags. It is all optional of course. And I read once in a while
in Club  Newsletters of needing Hams to go out the assist in communicating
between  Hilltops while the scouts are trying to pass off a Merit Badge
element.
