    Well, a lot of troops don't take the Librarian position of responsibility seriously. And that's a shame, because the first step in teaching a scout skill is reference.

    News to me about the .pdf. If you make a purchase, look into the fine print on the copyright for us. If that pdf is transferable between scouts, librarians could take advantage of it to fulfill their positions this month.

    Yeah..my son was the librarian for a short time he did a little bit of checking the books, but was not on top of it all the time. I will look into it and let you know.

    @DLikens, welcome to the forums! And sorry about the scouting digital echo chamber. BSA was late to the digital game, so others went through a lot of hoops to provide what it didn't.

    Also, your troop library should have collected used merit badge pamphlets, and there should be a way for your troop librarian to dead-drop the desired pamphlet.

    If you already subscribe to Kindle, you can purchase some pamphlets.

    I don't recommend it because there is no way to transfer ownership of the pamphlet to another scout once yours is finished with it.

    yeah, our library is a little out dated. that is why i am looking for online versions. I do know that if you have a kindle version you get a pdf version to send elsewhere. I have seen that before. I will look into the kindle versions too, thank you.

    The official source.

    Scroll down the long page and click on MB of interest to get current requirements.

    Hopefully other members will reply with more detailed advice.

    Awesome, thank you. I don't know why I didn't think to check there. I basically just did a Google search for the merit badge and had so many findings. 

  4. I had a question about this. I am looking for the requirements so my son can start merit badges and I am finding different variations of requirements for merit badges. My question is, where is the best place to find the most up to date merit badge requirements? As a note, I did search around in the forum to try and find the answer, but didn't have any luck. Maybe I missed it, but I could not find what I was looking for.
