Merit Badges are needed for the ranks of Star, Life, Eagle and Eagle Palms. A Scout may work on any Merit badge at any time. The Basic procedure is for the Scout to select the Merit Badge he is interested in, contact the Scoutmaster and get a signed Merit Badge Card and the name of at least one Merit Badge Counselor. He should call the counselor and discuss the requirements. After finishing the requirements, call the counselor to make an appointment. No Scout Should go Alone to Meet a counselor. The Scout and the counselor will talk about the Merit Badge and if the Scout has completed the badge, the counselor will sign the Merit Badge Card,
The Scout should then turn the signed card in to the Troop Advancement Chairperson. Remember, the Scout Needs to make the Calls and SHOULD NOT GO ALONE.
Scouts should check the Eagle Required List when Selecting a Merit Badge.
Merit Badge requirements can be found in merit badge books supplies by the Scout Shop or on-line.
