Merit Badges

Steps for completing a merit badge.

1. Select the merit badge you want to earn. A good resource for this is US Scouting Service Project.
2. Find one or more other scouts that want to earn the same merit badge. Scouts are not permitted to work one-on-one with a counselor outside a group setting.
3. Get approval from the troop scoutmaster or assistant scoutmaster and get a signed blue card.
4. Talk with the troop scoutmaster about finding a Merit Badge counselor.
5. Download a merit badge worksheet.
6. Find another Scout to work on the merit badge with and then contact a counselor and make arrangements.
7. Once completed and the counselor has signed off on all requirements, return the blue card to a scoutmaster or assistant scoutmaster.
