Scouts BSA At Home

The Virtual Merit Badge Program is currently not being offered. We apologize for any inconvience that this may cause. 

Most Merit Badges are $10 each and will be taught via Zoom meetings with the instructor at the listed time. Thre are a few merit badges that will have a different fee associated with them. These classes are designed and are being hosted for all registered Scouts BSA youth from all councils, across the nation and abroad. No matter which council you are registered, you are invited to join us! All times are listed as Eastern Time. Typically, each class that is M/W or T/Th consists of 2 1-hour sessions, and the F or S classes are one 2-hour session. The Zoom invitiations will be sent out the weekend before the class begins. This will also include the email address of your instructor. There will be some extra homework needed to be done between the courses, and some merit badge may require you to work on projects before or after the class. 

The Daniel Boone Council, BSA will not be issuing any refunds for this event. Please carefully select your times. ALL Changes must be made 7 days before the class starts. Classes need to be approved by the Scoutmaster BEFORE the scout signs upf or any class. 

You will need to create an account to register. This system is the same one used for our Fall camp, so it might be easier for your unit to register as a whole, the same way they would for Fall camp, but it is not required. 

How to Demonstrate virtually?

All requirements that state "Demonstrate" will require the scouts to complete the task out side of the virtual classes. This could be completed with videos of the scout completing it, or other trained professionals signing off that the scout completed the requirment as it is written. 

Quality of Classes

We are very excited to be offering virtual merit badges to scouts all over the world. We have seen scouts from ALL 50 states, DC and about 15 different Countries participate in our classes. This is because we have incredable instructors that are leaders in their industry and scouts have been able to learn more about new and unique career fields. We have seen an average class size between 20 and 25 scouts, and participation from over 95% of all council's. ALL of our instructors are registered with the Daniel Boone Council as approved Merit Badge Counselors.
