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.

**Unit Leaders** Registration is completed at the unit level by unit leaders and not by individual Scouts. The unit leader first registers the unit, then adds unit attendees. For Registration, please go to www.meritbadge.info and click on the “Enter Registration System” button, then scroll to 10/18/2014 to see the “2014 LDS Merit Badge PowWow” event. Password (when required) is “lds2014”
If you are already registered on the system (from last year), then click “Sign On” in the upper right hand corner.
If you are not registered, then click “Register New User” just below the “Sign on” link. For new user registration, use the following information:
1) State: LA
2) Council: SELA
3) District: Cypress (use your district name)
4) Unit Type: Troop (or Crew)
5) Unit Number: enter your unit number (troop number)
Now enter the rest of the information on the User Profile page.

Most of the information is not required. (just need email, first/last name, city/state, and password)
Click on “Sign Up” button in right column.
You should be on the “Participant Registration” page. (If not, click on the “Registration” link, then select our event in the dropdown list.)
Enter the scout’s first and last name, age, phone #, parents email address (or the scoutmasters email address)
Select the session time first, then select the available class for that particular session time. (It is very important to select the “Session Time” first, because the list of available merit badges is based on what Session is selected)
Then click the “Add” link.
Repeat for each scout. Don’t select more than one class at the same time period per scout.
If you find that you cannot attend, please return to the site and remove the registered classes. |
