Who provides my son with his rank and merit badge patches?
The Troop provides all rank and merit badge patches as part of his annual dues payments. When a boy advances in rank, he receives his new rank patch at a subsequent Troop meeting, but is formally acknowledged during the next Court of Honor. Traditionally we have three Court of Honor ceremonies per year. Merit Badge patches are handed out at Courts of Honor only, although the “blue card” that indicate his finishing a merit badge is given to him by his merit badge counselor when he completes the badge.
