Merit Badges

Troop 10

A great information source about merit badges, their requirements and resources is available at Scouting.org. Always refer to a Merit Badge handbook either borrowed from the Troop 10 library, borrowed from the public library or purchased from Council to help learn the material and be the definitive list of requirements.

A list of NWSC Merit Badge counselors is maintained on the Troop 10 Yahoo! web site; click here (Troop web site login required). While scouts are free to use any counselor, the ones associated with Troop 10 have a "star" by their name and may be able to meet during regular Troop meetings.

Parents are encouraged to share their knowledge by becoming a merit badge counselor. Information on becoming a counselor and the application is available here.
