Merit Badge Updates for 2025

December 10, 2024

Scouts BSA is excited to share the planned updates to Merit Badges that will take effect on January 1, 2025. These updates will be reflected in Scoutbook and on our online Merit Badge Hub (https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/) towards the end of December. These preliminary updates are subject to change before final implementation on January 1, 2025.

Per the Guide to Advancement (https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/), Section 7.0.4.3, any Scout beginning to work on a merit badge must use the updated online Merit Badge Hub requirements. Scouts who have already started a Merit Badge may continue using the old requirements until the merit badge is completed or switch to the new requirements.

Message:

The Boy Scouts of America's Youth Protection guidelines discourages one on one contact between Scouts and leaders. That's not just for in-person but also online and electronic communications. To comply with these guidelines Troop 22 has established an account on GroupMe, a group texting application. The smart-phone app is free to download and uses text messaging to share with the entire troop.

We all love and need gear. Alps Mountaineering has a program that gives registered Scouts and Scouters a discount on the gear we typically use. The backpacking tents the troop has are from Alps. There's a lot of other gear beside tents too, sleeping bags, rain gear, backpacks and camp chairs come to mind.
