Adapted from Bryan on Scouting
In times of crisis, Scouts find a way to adapt.We’re hearing from Scouts and leaders across the country who have found creative ways to keep on Scouting even while practicing social distancing (staying home and remaining at least 6 feet from others if you must go out).
Today we wanted to share another way Scouts BSA members can continue their Scouting journey during this period of isolation: by earning merit badges. Below, we have listed 58 merit badges that Scouts can complete from home. The merit badges on the list meet two main criteria:
- They don’t involve visits to public places or companies.
- Their requirements can be completed indoors or in an average-size yard.
- That eliminates merit badges like Citizenship in the Nation, which includes a visit to a state or federal facility, or Backpacking, which requires three treks of at least 15 miles each.
You will find merit badges that require special materials, like Basketry and Pottery. If you don’t have the necessary supplies at home, move on to the next suggested merit badge.
SPLs have been putting together classes on Google Classroom. Be sure you're checking your email for those opportunities as well.
