Boy Scout Merit Badges

Merit badges give scouts the opportunity to investigate a large variety of knowledge and skills. The merit badge program plays a major role in the scouting advancement program and participation can begin as soon as a scout registers with a troop or as an individual. Adults and leaders will need to accompany their scouts to remain within required ratios. Requirements that will be completed for the badge will be listed within the program description.
