This webpage was put together as a resource for the Scouts of Troop 35. Merit Badges are divided into two groups -- Eagle-required and elective. For each case, web links are provided to the latest requirements for each badge (from the BSA National website), and to helpful worksheets (from the Scouting Service Project website, usscouts.org ). A list of available Merit Badge counselors from within our Troop is also provided. This list is based on information from Council provided in March, 2010. Any adults who have registered as Merit Badge Counselors after that date should inform Mr. Satrape, and he will add them to the list.
Of course, Scouts are encouraged to obtain and read, yes, actually READ, a copy of the BSA Merit Badge book for any Merit Badge they are attempting to earn. Believe it or not, this will help.
To attain the rank of Eagle, a Scout must earn at least 21 Merit Badges.
Twelve of them must be from the list of Eagle-required badges given here.
The other nine are electives. Note that for Eagle rank, you must earn all
of the Merit Badges listed here, with the following exceptions:
(1) Only one is needed from this list: Lifesaving or Emergency Preparedness;
(2) Only one is needed from this list: Cycling, Hiking, or Swimming.
Consult your Boy Scout Handbook if you have any questions about Eagle Rank requirements.
