Eagle Scout Dylon Nottingham developed a playing card game called Primal Jaws. It’s is a strategic dinosaur battling game in which he created all the artwork, branding and game play... “It all started with Game Design,” Nottingham said. “I had this concept for a dinosaur combat game, and my work on that merit badge helped me begin to put it together.”... “I was making a new business with this game, and the American Business and Entrepreneurship Merit Badges helped with everything I was doing,” he said.... “Earning merit badges was incorporated into my homeschool curriculum, and

Hello. New the forum. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out if BSA Blastcars can really be used as a model project for the Model Design and Building merit badge. This is what the description for the BSA Blastcar says at the Scoutshop and everywhere else on the internet: https://www.scoutshop.org/blastcar-racer-car-kit-613152.html "This activity can be used toward requirements for Model Design & Building, Woodworking and Wood Carving merit badges." Sounds great, but then when you look at the requirements for the Model Design and Building merit badge I see that requirement #4e

Each year, "Scouting" magazine publishes a list showing the number of each merit badge earned in the previous year. The 2018 list is available here: https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2019/02/11/2018-merit-badge-rankings-a-deep-dive-into-the-official-numbers-from-1-to-137/ As usual, all the top positions are Eagle-required. I always find the bottom 10 to be the most interesting. This year, American Business managed to tie perennial last-place Bugling as the least-earned merit badge in scouting. A mere 551 merit badges earned nationwide... Observations? Comments?

Hello all - I am a parent of a scout who just crossed over from Arrow of Light to Boy Scouts. I am considering signing up as a merit badge counselor for our troop, and my son is ready to start working on some of his badges. I'm getting some conflicting guidance from our Troopmaster and the BSA website. I'm hoping you all can help. Our Troopmaster informed me that my son cannot work on a merit badge by himself. He said it is required that merit badges be earned in groups of 2 or more scouts. I understand the requirement for the buddy system and that my son must be accompanied by

Seems that BSA has tinkered with a few rank requirements and MBs for 2017. Nothing too big from what I see. http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2017/03/14/heres-a-complete-list-of-the-2017-boy-scout-requirement-changes/

Scoutmasters, Advancement Coordinators, District and Council Advancement Committee Members, and Others: Very much worth your read. Key points: "Updating requirements means merit badge pamphlets and the Boy Scout Requirements book need to be updated as well. In the past, this process slowed down the update cycle, at times causing delays of a year or more. Not anymore, Berger says. "“As soon as we have new, updated merit badge requirements, we’re going to immediately get them on Scouting.org, as well as in our new interactive digital merit badge pamphlets and on Scoutbook,†he -
BSA announces online, interactive MB pamphlets. See the poll. Good idea or waste of resources?

SpEdScouter started a topic asking what the most difficult merit badge to earn was. Stosh suggested asking what is the most useful merit badge a Scout can earn is. I'd like to take it even a step further and make it a two part question with the second question being what is the most useful merit badge you earned (if you earned any - if you weren't a Scout as a lad or a female scouter, I'd still love to hear your answer to the first question). They may be the same answer, or they may be different answers - I think that would be interesting too. I'll start... I think the most useful m
