Merit Badge Updates

Merit Badge College

• Several badges have recently been added, including Dog Care, Public Health, Safety, and a second session of Sustainability.
• One badge (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) has been dropped from the lineup. Please see the
  explanation from National that follows:
  • The introduction of the proposed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion merit badge is being delayed to allow for the careful consideration and evaluation of feedback.  Until further notice, all Scouts working on the Eagle Scout rank should continue to use current rank requirements. Once the Eagle-required Diversity, Equity and Inclusion merit badge is introduced, Scouts in the process of earning the rank of Eagle Scout will be given adequate time to earn it. Updates regarding the merit badge will be shared with councils directly and via Scoutingwire.
