Effective June 2026!
MeritBadge.info was launched in January 2006. We have had some great years but over time, other solutions were mandated to be used.
Please back up your events between now and June 2026, because we will be shutting down the website.
It has been a wonderful experience. We have made a lot of new friends and cherish the memories.
Yours in Scouting, Mike & Rodrigo
