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.

Scouts will prepare their menus during class earlier in the week.  They will be responsible for bringing all of the food they need to prepare their menus.  All meals are to be made from scratch.  NO MIXES OR STORE BOUGHT PREMADE FOOD.  They will need to show proper storage for their food.

• Whatever cookware the Scout needs, such as dutch ovens, pots and pans, bowls, etc,

• mess kit for eating

• utensils (eating and cooking, including knives for chopping if needed)

• water bottle

• all food.  Items needing refrigeration should be in a cooler.  Scout is responsible for bringing a cooler and ice.  The site may or may not have electricity, so plan for not having it (anything needing to be mixed, will need to be mixed by hand.  An ice cream maker would be hand cranked).

• Anything else that they will need to complete their meals
