Merit Badges are an integral part of ScoutsBSA. Of the 138 Merit Badges offered by ScoutsBSA, only 22 are Eagle Required.

Merit Badges allow Scouts to explore subjects that could lead to future hobbies, interests, or even careers.

Troop 318 has nearly thirty Merit Badge Counselors, offering almost a hundred different Merit Badges.

Please consider volunteering to be a Merit Badge Counselor.

The Troop counts on volunteers to have a successful program.

New this year is the Citizenship in Society Merit Badge. This new Merit Badge will be required for the Rank of Eagle starting on July 1, 2022.

The Merit Badge provides Scouts with opportunities to learn more about our world by encouraging them to explore information on diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethical leadership.
