HOW ARE MERIT BADGES AND OTHER AWARDS EARNED?
The majority of merit badges will be earned at Summer Camp and in classes taught during troop meetings. Scouts may also choose to work on badges on their own. Before beginning work on a merit badge, the scout should get approval from the Scoutmaster or one of the Assistant Scoutmasters. Any Eagle-required merit badges must be taught/overseen by an adult in the troop who is not the scout’s parent.
