How to Work on Merit Badges in Troop 31


When you join the Boy Scouts, you can start to work on Merit Badges. You don’t have to be First Class, you don’t even have to be a Tenderfoot. You just have to be registered with the Scout troop.

There are four ways to earn Merit Badges.

Boxwell

If you go to Camp Boxwell in the summer, it’s a great way to get Merit Badges. If you work hard, you can get up to six in one week!

At Scout Meetings

New Scouts work on Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class requirements during scout meetings. Older scouts all work on Merit Badges during the scout meetings. We teach four or five different badges at a time. Some are Eagle required, and some are not. If you’ve got a Merit Badge you want to take, suggest it to the Assistant Scoutmaster in charge of Merit Badges!

Merit Badge University

A one day event sponsored by the Scout Council. You can earn one or two merit badges in a day. There are several of these a year. A very good idea to sign up for these!

On Your Own

You and a buddy can contact the Assistant Scoutmaster in charge of Merit Badges and find out who teaches a badge that you are interested in, and you can get it from that counselor on your own. If there is no one in Troop 31 who can teach it, check with the BSA District Representative to see who does
