Nunkies Scouts are members of the faction who earn themselves badges by completing virtual tasks. One officially becomes a Nunkies Scout once the first badge is earned. In most instances, the badges are earned virtually by creating posts that satisfy the requirements. For this reason, the first prerequisite to becoming a Nunkie Scout is subscribing to the Nunkies Anonymous list, since that is where scouts must post the requirements for each new Nunkies Scout badge.
