Merit Badge Pamphlets

If you’re thinking of working on a Merit Badge, but aren’t quite sure where to start, you may want to check out the Merit Badge Pamphlet to see what it is all about.

All merit badge pamphlets are now available as free PDFs on the official Scouting.org merit badge site. Printed pamphlets will continue to be updated and sold through Scouting America and local Scout Shops. These pamphlets are designed to help Scouts complete the latest merit badge requirements. Always check the official pages on Scouting.org and Scoutbook for current information.

And finally, you may want to go over to USScouts.org and download the merit badge worksheet – just remember filling out the worksheet doesn’t mean you have completed the merit badge requirements.  The worksheets are a great tool to keep track of what work you completed for each requirement and as handy notes to be used when discussing what you have done with your Merit Badge Counselor.  Requirements that say things like “Show” or “Demonstrate” will need to be completed with your counselor.
