Additional Information on Merit Badges, with lists of resources
for study is available at the Meritbadge.com
website, which is not affiliated with the USSSP. We've noticed that the requirements
and worksheets on that site are not up to date, so use OUR site for those items.
Required for Eagle
The following 15 badges are on the list of badges in requirement
3 for Eagle Scout.
Although a Scout must earn only 12 of them for the rank of Eagle
Scout, and certain of them are therefore options for others, a Scout may choose
any combination of these merit badges to fulfill requirement number 3 for Star and
Life Scout. (He must have a total of 4 of these badges for Star and 7 of these badges
for Life) Click here
to see which badges in the list are options.
Camping, Citizenship
in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation,
Citizenship in the World, Communications,
Cycling, Emergency Preparedness,
Environmental Science, Family
Life, First Aid, Hiking,
Lifesaving, Personal Fitness,
Personal Management, Swimming
Note: Scouts who advanced to Star Scout before April 1, 1999, and
used Safety and/or Sports (which were formerly on this list) to meet the above requirement
MUST substitute one or two of the badges on the current list above to advance to
Life Scout (so that they have at least seven of the badges on the CURRENT list).
Safety and/or Sports can be used as one or two of the four elective badges needed
to meet the total of 11 needed for for advancement to Life Scout.
Scouts advancing to Eagle Scout who used Sports and/or Safety for
Star and/or Life before April 1, 1999, must use those badges as elective badges
(i.e. numbers 13-21) and must have the requisite badges on the list above to advance.
