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
~~“Far different from the   stereotypes or common images that are portrayed on film, on television, and   in many books and stories, American Indians have many different cultures,   languages, religions, styles of dress, and ways of life. To learn about these   different groups is to take an exciting journey of discovery in which you   will meet some of America's most fascinating peoples”.

 
Description

~~What to expect:

We will walk the festival and enjoy the Native American culture.

Indian Lore merit badge requirements

1. Identify the different American Indian cultural areas. Explain what makes them each unique.   We will discuss and learn during our tour.

2. Give the history of one American Indian tribe, group or nation that lives or has lived near you. Visit it, if possible. On our tour we will learn about traditional dwellings, way of life, tribal government, religious beliefs, family and clan relationships, language, clothing styles, arts and crafts, food preparation, means of getting around, games, customs in warfare, where members of the group now live, and how they live.

3. Do TWO of the following. Focus on a specific group or tribe. You will need to do A B OR C before or after the MB workshop.  We will not do it this day.

a. Make an item of clothing worn by members of the tribe.

b. Make and decorate three items used by the tribe, as approved by your counselor.

c. Make an authentic model of a dwelling used by any Indian tribe, group, or nation.

d. Visit a museum to see Indian artifacts. Our festival will count as visiting a museum.

4.  Do ONE of the following:   We will learn 3 games that you can go back and teach to your patrol one to meet req “A”.

a. Learn three games played by a group or tribe. Teach and lead one game with a Scout group.

b. Learn and show how a tribe traditionally cooked or prepared food. Make three food items.

c. Give a demonstration showing how a specific Indian group traditionally hunted, fished, or trapped



5: Do ONE of the following:   From all the choices we will do B at the festifal.

b. Sing two songs in an Indian language. Explain their meanings.

We do this every year and it is awesome.
