Merit Badges

A Merit Badge (MB) is an award that is presented to a Scout when he completes the requirements for one of the merit badge subjects. The badge is only a small piece of khaki cloth with a design embroidered in color, but it has a great deal of significance for the scout and his advancement.

Scouts may choose among the more than 100 subjects, choosing those that seem most interesting to them. Some subjects are in craftwork, some in vocational fields, some in service to others, and many in cultural or life skills areas. In addition, certain merit badges are required for the Eagle Scout rank.

There are several Merit Badge Counselors in our troop and in the area who are qualified to teach the topics and subjects.  Please see the Troop Scoutmaster to discuss and obtain a MB Blue card BEFORE starting any Merit Badge.
