Merit Badges

    Merit badges are awards earned based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or avocation.  Additionally, rank advancement requires the completion of a number of merit badges with specific badges required for Eagle Rank. 

    There are currently 121 merit badges in the merit badge program.  Each merit badge has a pamphlet published by the Boy Scouts of America as well as a comprehensive guide that includes all merit badges.  Information on merit badges may also be obtained through online resources such as the BSA Site or the US Scouting Service Project Site (links below) which also contains a worksheet that can be used for badge completion. 

    The award of a merit badge is represented by circular patch with an image representing the badge's topic. The patches for the Eagle-required merit badges are distinguishable by the silver ring on the outside edge. Merit badges are displayed on a sash which can be worn with the Boy Scout uniform on formal occasions.
