Boy Scout Merit Badges

The Boy Scout merit badge program, which provides opportunities for youth to explore more than 120 fields of skill and knowledge, plays a key role in the fulfillment of this educational commitment. A vital part of the BSA's advancement plan, the Boy Scout merit badge program is one of Scouting's basic character-building tools. Through participation in the Boy Scout merit badge program (which may begin immediately upon registration in a troop or team), a Scout acquires the kind of self-confidence that comes only from overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal. Instruction is offered in everything from animal science and public speaking to swimming and communications, providing a young man with invaluable career, physical, and interpersonal skills.  Trading Eagles has a large collection of past Boy Scout merit badges and current, new Boy Scout merit badges.
