SPECIAL NOTES (Please Read):
These merit badge pamphlets are part of a series of more than 140 covering all kinds of hobby and career subjects. They are made available for you to read online, at your schools, local libraries or to buy as a service of the national and local councils, BSA. The costs of the development, writing, and editing of the merit badge pamphlets are paid for by the Boy Scouts of America in order to bring you the best book at a reasonable price.
Please support your local council and purchase the “latest” edition pamphlet available. Always make sure you check with your counselor before you begin your Merit Badge journey. We are providing easy online access to these pamphlets to assist ALL Scouts in flexibility-learning and inspiring them to explore the many exciting subjects and the evolving world around them.
MERIT BADGE LIBRARY
Though intended as an aid to Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and qualified Venturers in meeting merit badge requirements, these pamphlets are of general interest and are made available by many schools, public libraries and now easy online access. The latest revision date of each pamphlet might not correspond with the copyright date shown below, because this list is corrected only once a year, in January. Any number of merit badge pamphlets may be revised throughout the year; others are simply reprinted until a revision becomes necessary.
If a Scout has already started working on a merit badge when a new edition for that pamphlet is introduced, he may continue to use the same merit badge pamphlet to earn the badge and fulfill the requirements therein. In other words, the Scout need not start all over again with the new pamphlet and possibly revised requirements. Fore more info, click here.
