If you are having trouble registering scouts, carefully read the information on the help tab.
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.

Sponsor Information

This years merit badge college has been revised to align with the new BSA national advancement guidlines. It will be held on one Saturday, April 1st with two sessions; morning and afternoon. Only 28 classroom appropriate merit badghes will be offered. Outdoor, camping, athletic, and summer camp appropriate or STEM badges will not be offered at this college. There will be an all day session for first year or new Scouts to help them progress in one year to First Class. 



All scouts must bring a BLUE CARD signed by their Scoutmaster to class.  At the end of the session the counselor will fill in requirements met and sign it.  The boys are responsible for their blue card at all times.



Please remind scouts to wear their Class A uniform and follow all scouting rules.



We ask that all troops have one volunteer per five scouts at the event.  Volunteers will be needed for various tasks including helping the counselors during the sessions.
Description
This will be an all day event with two sessions; morning and afternoon. Some badges will require both sessions in order to have a positive experience.
Counselor Information
At check-in in the morning of the event, you will receive a class roster.  Please mark any scout that is absent as a "no show" on your roster.  At the end of your class, please also fill in the roster with either requirements met (per scout) or requirements not met if that is easier.  Please make sure that it is legible and understandable for the person that will enter the information into the merit badge website.



Thank you so much for volunteering your time, it is greatly appreciated!
