We're having a debate in our troop about the Eagle required merit badges for Star and Life.
The Boy Scout handbook states:
A Scout may choose ANY of the 15 required merit badges in the 12 categories to fulfill this requirement. See the Eagle rank requirements for a complete list of required badges for Eagle.
The list of 15 required merit badges are:
1. First Aid,
2. Citizenship in the Community,
3. Citizenship in the Nation,
4. Citizenship in the World,
5. Communications,
6. Personal Fitness,
7. Emergency Preparedness
8. Lifesaving,
9. Environmental Science,
10. Personal Management,
11. Swimming
12. Hiking
13. Cycling,
14. Camping
15. Family Life.
Then for Eagle, the additional restrictions are added:
g. Emergency Preparedness OR Lifesaving,
j. Swimming OR Hiking OR Cycling,
Does this mean that for Star and Life, ANY of the 15 Eagle required merit badges can be used to meet the requirements?
I've also heard that TroopMaster software will not allow Emergency Preparedness AND Lifesaving for Star and Life, although this sounds more life a software programming problem than an issue with the Eagle required merit badges.
