Merit Badge Information

The following procedures should be adhered to when requesting to participate in a merit badge:

• Review the document, "Merit Badge Review" to determine difficulty, suggested completion time frame, and any prerequisites that may apply to the merit badge you are interested in.

• After determining if you are eligible and capable of completing the merit badge, print out the merit badge blue card and the appropriate merit badge worksheet (listed below) and bring them to the Scoutmaster with your request.

• Once the Scoutmaster has approved your merit badge participation request, you will be directed to the Advancement Chair who will assign you to a Merit Badge Counselor and document your enrollment into the Troopmaster database.

• You must contact the assigned Merit Badge Counselor who will guide you through the merit badge's completion.

  • Note:  If a Scout is required to meet with a Merit Badge Counselor during occasions other than at planned weekly Troop meetings, it is the responsibility of both the Scout and the Counselor to ensure that the BSA Two-Deep Leadership Policy is adhered to at all times.  At no time will an individual Scout meet with a Counselor on a one-on-one basis.

  Merit Badge Counselors are listed on the bottom of this page

• Once you have completed the Merit Badge, bring the completed and signed Merit Badge Blue Card to the Advancement Chair.

Merit Badge Books and Resources that are available for check-out from the Troop Library may be found on the Merit Badge Books and Resources page.

• The following are Merit Badge Worksheets which are to be printed and used when requesting Merit Badge participation approval and at all times throughout the completion of the Merit Badge:

(Merit Badges listed in Red are Eagle required)

Merit Badges denoted with an asterisk have changes effective January 1, 2008 that may n0t be reflected on the worksheet.
