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.

Unit Sign-up Instructions
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ?

Registration Fees will need to be turned into at BSA office by 19 January 2019: 1400 Gillam Way, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701.  Registration ends January 19, 2019  Please register scouts by troop, through your troop representative. Pay for entire troop with one check – made out to BSA-MSC for registration.  We will be using meritbadge.info to manage merit badge registration this year. This requires that one adult in your unit register on the site as a Unit Leader. There are tutorials under the event planning “Do It Yourself Guide” tab that will show you how to do this. This system will allow you to print rosters for your unit. This system also requires that email addresses for the scouts or parent be included so that MB counselors can contact scouts prior to class with notes about class. We recommend that you have the Master Merit Badge Schedule in front of you to assist you in sign up. Use the Individual Scout forms as your guide to input for unit online registration.After you sign up & sign in,  go to the event tab, find the 2019 Tanana Valley Merit Badge Day on the list and then click the sign-up button on the right.

Troop Leaders: Please turn in all items together  Checks (one check/includes lunch) Troop needs to collect additional fees, to be paid in cash for merit badges requiring a special fee( Welding). Each troop should provide SIGNED Merit Badge cards for each Scout in your troop. PLEASE NOTE: One of the biggest comments from MB instructors is the lack of maturity for young scouts taking Eagle-Required Merit Badges. A unit leader should consider talking to scouts about the concept of “challenge by choice” prior to signing a MB card for young scouts. Unit leaders/Parents need to be present for the entire day with Scouts to move them to off site locations, communications and safety
