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.

RULES FOR PARTICIPATION:



1. If a Troop participates together, each Troop must provide one adult for every 4 boys who participate. This will help us with crowd control, as well as insure quality of results within the classroom environment. Troops need to make certain that they have adequate transportation for their Scouts. 



If a Scout is attending alone, a parent must provide timely transportation for their Scout.  We are not resourced to render babysitting services.



2. Scouts must behave in a Scout-like manner. Disruptive youth will be removed from the group and either spend the remainder of the day with their Scoutmaster or be picked up by their parent/guardian.



Note: The Unit adults are responsible for the scouts who attend.

 

RIGHT TO LIMIT OR CANCEL:  The Merit Badge College reserves the right to limit or cancel any class. Merit Badges to be offered are subject to change based on MB Counselor availability and class minimums. Walk-ins will be allowed based on availability.



FIRST COME FIRST SERVED:  Scouts are admitted to classes on a first come, first served basis via the online registration system. There is no waiting list for any of the merit badges classes. Should you encounter booked classes, please monitor this website in case seats become available.



EXPECTATION:   Scouts are strongly encouraged to read the Merit Badge Pamphlet and finish all prerequisites before attending the Merit Badge College.



UNIFORM:  The B.S.A. Class A uniform is the official uniform for the day.



CODE OF CONDUCT:  The Scout Oath, the Law, and the Outdoor Code shall be the code of the Merit Badge College. Adequate supervision must be provided by each participating unit. 



CLEAN UP:  The Scout is clean. Troop Leaders - please coordinate with your troop to clean the premises and to keep the classrooms in the same condition as found. Future offerings of the Merit Badge College will largely depend on how neat we leave the place.
