Merit Badges

List of Eagle-required merit badges   |   Alphabetical list of all merit badges

General information on merit badges can be found here. Requirements for all 120 BSA-approved merit badges, including those required for Eagle, can be found here.

Teaching Merit Badge Classes - Troop 451 encourages parents to teach merit badge classes to the Scouts. Parents can choose a merit badge in which they have special interest or knowledge, or check with the Troop Merit Badge Coordinators to see which Eagle-required merit badge classes need to be taught.

The Troop maintains a library of merit badge booklets for both parent instructors and Scouts, and several merit badges have notes and teaching aids prepared by previous instructors. There is also a lot of information on the Web. The U.S. Scouting Service Project has an introduction to merit badge counseling and www.meritbadge.org has valuable links and worksheets that help in teaching merit badges.
