2010 Historical Merit Badge Program
|
|
You can now earn
Tracking, Pathfinder, Carpentry, and
Signaling Merit Badges
Merit badges have been a
fixture of the Boy Scouts of America
since its inception in 1910. The
requirements that generations of boys
have completed have taught lifetime
citizenship lessons, personal fitness
habits, and life skills. They have been
the beginnings of countless careers and
lifetime hobbies. In the last 99 years
there have been many changes in the
merit badge offerings. As society has
changed, the Boy Scouts of America has
adapted by revising the requirements,
implementing name changes, and in some
instances, eliminating some badges
altogether.
For the 100th
Anniversary celebration four vintage
merit badges are being released for the
Centennial Year only, giving Boy Scouts
the hands-on opportunity to experience
the exciting past of BSA.
