Merit Badges

Merit badges are awards earned by Scouts, based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation. Merit badges can be worked on individually, as a group, at scout camps, and during Merit Badge Academies that are offered each year.

Every year, our Troop strives to keep things exciting by completing new merit badges including wilderness survival camping, hiking, biking, canoeing, woodworking, fire safety, first aid, archery, shooting sports, orienteering, or other interests that the Patrols want to complete.
