Merit Badges
Merit Badges are a large part of your individual scouting experience after you reach the rank of First Class. There are over 100 merit badges, providing a myriad of opportunities to explore new topics and learn about the world around you. Did you know that Stephen Spielberg shot one of his first movies with his scout troop for his photography merit badge?
We often work on merit badges in groups, but don't think of that as the only way to work on a merit badge. In fact, most of your merit badge activities will be outside of troop meetings, which allows you work at your own pace to get the most out of each merit badge.
The merit badge process is composed of four easy steps:
1. Contact the Scoutmaster to get a signed Blue Card indicating that you may start working on a specific merit Badge.
2. Contact a merit badge counselor to work with you on the requirements.
3. Complete the requirements.
4. Submit in your completed Blue Card to the advancement coordinator (keep your stub for your scout records) and receive your merit badge.
