Merit badges are awards earned past members of the Boy Scouts of America, based on activities within the area of report by completing a list of periodically updated requirements.[1] The purpose of the merit badge programme is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to decide if they would like to farther pursue them every bit a career or vocation. Originally, the program also introduced Scouts to the life skills of contacting an adult they had not met before, arranging a meeting and so demonstrating their skills, similar to a task or higher interview. Increasingly, though, merit badges are earned in a course setting at troop meetings and summertime camps.[2]

Each merit badge has a pamphlet or booklet associated with it, which contains information on completing the requirements for the badge. Before starting to piece of work on a detail badge, Scouts must meet with their Scoutmasters and obtain a signed application card for it. They must then contact an adult who is registered as a advisor for that badge in club to accommodate a meeting and determine which requirements (if any) must be completed alee of time. The counselor initials the carte to indicate the Scout'south progress in meeting the requirements, and then signs it one time they take all been fulfilled. After turning in the completed card to the Scoutmaster, the Scout tin can receive a patch representing the badge.[3]

The accolade of a merit bluecoat is represented by a circular patch with an image representing the badge's topic. The patches for the Eagle-required merit badges are distinguishable by the argent ring on the outside edge. Merit badges are displayed on a sash which can be worn with the Boy Scout uniform on formal occasions. Every year the National Council reviews and updates a sure number of merit badges. There are over 100 merit badges (137 as of April 2020).

Scouting organizations in other countries issue or take issued merit badges, including Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Espana, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. Austria has a programme like to merit badges for certain age groups.

"Colleges" [edit]

Merit bluecoat colleges, which are besides called fairs, weekends, midways, ''trail drives'', or jamborees, are events where several troops and counselors run across and focus on teaching merit badges. Larger events are held on higher campuses.

Workbooks [edit]

Into the 1990s, a number of merit bluecoat counselors developed worksheets as a way for Scouts to document their work. Counselors could teach to a group but still verify each Scout's progress. More recently, worksheets have given way to workbooks with added graph paper, blank maps and diagrams, logs, charts, checklists, links, and other resources as needed. Merit badge workbooks are used past counselors, summer camps, and merit badge colleges. Workbooks take also been developed for ranks, Cub Scout chugalug loops, and Webelos activeness pins.[14]

Historical plan [edit]

Offered only in 2010, the Historical Merit Bluecoat program, part of the Boy Scouts of America centennial, immune Scouts to earn the discontinued Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signalling, and Tracking (originally called Stalking) merit badges. The patches for these historical merit badges are distinguished by a gilt band on the outside edge. All were based on merit badges that were among the original 57 issued in 1911.[15] [xvi]
