He is trying to get merit badge for sports. He has to do two sports for few months. I thought soccer is one and the other is for kendo. Do you think Kendo can be added as part of sports activity ?

4. Take part for one season (or four months) as a competitive individual or as a member of an organized team in TWO of the following sports: baseball, basketball, bowling, cross-country, field hockey, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, water polo. Your counselor may approve in advance other recognized sports, but not any sport that is restricted and not authorized by the Boy Scouts of America. Then with your chosen sports do the following:

Blah, blah, blah

and then the restricted activities as posted above

Boxing, karate, and related martial arts—except judo, aikido, and Tai Chi—are not authorized activities.
The only reference to fencing I could find was putting a fence around a garden, so it does not look promising.
