If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Description

In putting on this Merit Badge Day, Troop 959 strives to create a quality Merit Badge program that includes skilled trades, life skills, general enrichment and Eagle-required Merit Badges.   In small-classroom settings, Scouts will learn from carefully recruited professional counselors. There will be no on-site registration or walk-ins.The only way to sign up for this event is via http://www.meritbadge.info/



Scouts have the option of taking up to four 2-hour classes, however, some classes require more than one session.  The intent is to be able to sign off Blue Cards for all scouts who come prepared with all perquisites and complete the in-class requirements.  Regardless of the number of merit badge classes a scout takes, the cost is $38 per scout. Lunch is included. **Fees are non-refundable; however, if a scout must back out he can transfer the registration to another scout.**



We are offering two sessions for adults: "Boy Scout Leader Specific Training" and "Boy Scout Leader High Adventure"

The first is a 4-hour session will be taught by Troop 959's former Scoutmaster and will provide a wealth of information for scouter's wishing to learn about leadership opportunities. The second is specifically geared toward adults who want to go to Philmont Scout Ranch as an adult leader. It is taught by a Troop 959 Assistant Scoutmaster who has participated in 7 Philmont Treks over the past 10 years. He has a wealth of information about the pre-planning, travel arrangements and being prepared for the two weeks at Philmont.  
The cost for these sessions is $10 and includes lunch.
