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.

Gardening is a wonderful lifetime adventure. A lot of this merit badge will be accomplished at home. Scouts need to maintain a garden from planting through harvest, as well as other activities which need to be done for 90 days. We're going to kick off this merit badge with a visit to the Chesterfield County Extension Office, 6807 Mimms Loop, Chesterfield, VA, on May 20 at 4:00 pm. We will cover several of the other requirements this day. We'll have a final meeting with a tour of a nursery around August 27 and the Scouts will be able to show all of their work.
Please do not contact the Extension Office with questions about registration, as they will be unable to assist you. Any questions should be directed to cjohnson498@verizon.net.

Description |
|
UNIFORM: Class A.
PREREQUISITES: None, but the majority of the work will be done at home. Our first meeting is May 20 at the Chesterfield County Extension Office. We will complete requirements 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 and answer any questions about their projects. Scouts are responsible for requirements 2, 4, and 8. I am here to support the boys in any way. A garden can be planted in containers, or other arrangements can be made for those with limited garden space. You do not have to wait until May 20th to begin work on this merit badge; you may begin immediately. Document your work with photographs as I will want to see your garden.
Around August 27th, we will finish the merit badge with a tour of a nursery. Scouts will bring a report of their completed work (photos, journals, harvested vegetables, etc.), and should be prepared to discuss their experiences.
If anyone is interested, arrangements can be made to get into a bee hive. Please let me know if you are interested.
