MERIT BADGE GENERAL INFORMATION

BSA has prepared a short video titled Merit Badge Primer. This video let's you know what to do to get started earning Merit Badges. It explains the method, and gives some tips on how to work on any Merit Badge. A good resource for younger Scouts and a great reference for older ones.

REVISED MERIT BADGE REQUIREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008

Backpacking
First Aid
Metalwork
Sculpture
Water Sports (REPLACES Waterskiing)
Wilderness Survival

In addition, the Graphic Arts Merit Badge requirements were revised last year but the revision did not make it into the 2008 Requirements Book. Therefore Scouts have the option of earning this merit badge under either the old requirements or the new requirements until January 1, 2009 when the new requirements will be mandated.
