In celebration of the 100th year of Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America has brought back four historic merit badges that Scouts can have the opportunity to earn.  The requirements for Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signaling, and Tracking Merit Badges must be completed by December 31, 2010 in order to receive these badges.  After 2010 these badges will no longer be available!

The Eagle Scout Project Cover Sheet has been added to the website under For Volunteers > Scouting Forms.  It is directly available here.  This is the same form that was available on the old website.

All Eagle Scout forms can be found under the Scouting Forms section of the website.  Additional resources are available under For Scouts > Advancement Resources.

Beginning today, April 1, the four new historic merit badges released by the Boy Scouts of America can be earned.  The badges are signaling, pathfinding, tracking, and carpentry.  Login to the announcement by Scouting Magazine for more information on earning and to view the requirements.
