This sounds a lot like the Scouting merit system, in a good way. I learned more life skills from Scouts then I ever did from public education.

I did learn things from scouting (I'm and Eagle Scout) but an awful lot of those things were "stuff I did to check off a box and then promptly forget about" rather than "stuff I did because I wanted to learn it an integrate it into my life."

I am embarrassed at how little first aid I remember.
