If you are having trouble registering scouts, carefully read the information on the help tab.
If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Description

Registration: Registration by Troop is required. Please try to have one person per Troop register your scouts. Open enrollment will begin on the above stated date. Registration fee is $10.00 per Scout per course. All payments must be received via PAYPAL or by snail mail by March 1, 2016 to be eligible. Otherwise, we will drop your online registration and will allow other Scouts to register in your place. Fees are non-refundable but can be transferred to another scout. MB Counselors require student or parent e-mail or phone for coordination. 



Uniform: The Full B.S.A. Class A uniform is the official uniform for the day. The merit badge sash may also be worn. Those taking part in fitness badges - please bring appropriate clothing to change into.



Code of Conduct: The Scout Oath, the Law, and the Outdoor Code shall be the guiding behavior for the Merit Badge Day. A Scout whose conduct is not consistent with the code will be directed to leave the school grounds immediately. Adequate supervision must be provided by each participating unit. Discipline is the responsibility of the Scoutmaster or other assigned leaders in charge of the troop.



Transportation: The Troop Leaders must coordinate arrival and departure time for transportation. Troops need to make certain that they have adequate transportation for their Scouts. All transportation to and from the Merit Badge Day must be arranged within your troop. Encourage everyone to carpool. We have a comfortable lounge for parents to wait in, with free Wi Fi access and coffee.  We also offer CPR for adults in the morning if you want to stay busy!



Clean Up: A Scout is Clean. Troop Leaders please coordinate with your troop to clean the premises and to keep the classrooms in the same condition as found. Future offerings of the Merit Badge Day will largely depend on how neat we leave the Center. All garbage must be properly disposed into designated containers or carried out.



Security: Because the public may have access to the Center, units will need to exercise their own vigilance. Report any incidents to the event organizers.
