Merit badges give scouts the chance to explore around 130 different areas<\/strong> of possible occupations. The merit badge program plays a major role in rank advancements and scouts can begin as soon as they join the troop. All scout can explore topics from American Business to Woodworking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a Scout has started a merit badge, he\/she can continue to work on that merit badge until their 18th birthday. If requirements are updated, the scout must complete the merit badge with the most current requirements. You are expected to do the requirements as stated\u2014no more and no less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a total of 21 merit badges must be earned. Of the 21 merit badges, 14 of them are Eagle required (see list below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To earn a merit badge, first the Scout must get a blue card from the Merit Badge Coordinator. There is only 1 person responsible for the blue card and that person is you. This means the blue card MUST be filled out by you, not your parent, merit badge counselor, or anyone else. This also includes obtaining and turning in blue cards. Ultimately it is the SCOUT’S responsibility to make sure that the blue card is filled out correctly and completely prior to turning it in to the Merit Badge Coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the Merit Badge and Advancement procedures<\/a><\/em><\/strong> that scouts must follow. If scouts need assistance filling out a blue card, please refer to T430 Blue Card Example<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**** PARENTS ****<\/strong> We are always in need of merit badge counselors. To be a merit badge counselor, you will need to fill out a BSA Adult Application<\/a>, Merit Badge Counselor Application<\/a> and have a current Youth Protection Training. To complete Youth Protection Training, you will need to login to my.scout.org, if you do not have a login you will need to create on. http:\/\/my.scouting.org<\/a> Once completed please turn in to the Troop Merit Badge Coordinator. If you have any questions please see the Troop Merit Badge Coordinator. This is a list of T430’s Merit Badge Counselors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a list of merit badges and their worksheets. Although the worksheets are not required to earn the merit badge, it is highly recommended for scouts to use it to help complete all requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
