Skill Badges as Activity Prerequisites SD313/414
Some benefits to using skill badges as prerequisites for activities include:
--Lessening bureaucracy and improving course administration. For example, Basic Climbing Admins would be able to track student progress online, rather than manually in booklets, and it can ensure that Basic Climbing students cannot register for glacier climbs until they've successfully completed glacier skills training.
--Allowing course leaders to specify leader prerequisites for skills conditioners, allowing people to grow into leadership, broadening the leadership funnel.

You can currently "offer" more spots than are actually available GH 1152/1188
Fix course capacity so that you can only offer as many spots as are actually available for that course. Right now you can have 5 spots available but make an offer to 10 people on the waitlist.
