Merit Badges: Earn Your Way Forward
Every badge tells a story — a skill learned, a challenge overcome, a new passion discovered. Troop 868 scouts have access to over 130 merit badges spanning everything from wilderness survival to robotics, cooking to citizenship.
Eagle-Required Badges
Thirteen badges form the core path to Eagle Scout — including First Aid, Camping, and Citizenship in the Community. These aren't just checkboxes; they're the foundation of a well-rounded scout.
Elective Badges
From Astronomy to Welding, elective badges let scouts follow genuine curiosity. Troop 868 regularly hosts counselors and workshops to make earning them hands-on and memorable.
Requirements & Milestones
Each badge has clear, documented requirements. Scouts work with approved counselors, track their progress, and celebrate completions at troop meetings throughout the year.
