Learn how Scouts BSA merit badges work, the roles and responsibilities of a merit badge counselor, and tips for helping Scouts learn skills and grow as individuals through the merit badge process. This course covers the same material as the version at my.scouting.org, but doing it together means we can have more useful interaction and discussion. We’ll also share ideas for teaching merit badges online during the pandemic. At the end of this course, you’ll be trained for your position and entitled to wear the “Trained” patch.
