Troop 23 is proud to offer a variety of merit badges that scouts can earn with the help of our dedicated Merit Badge Counselors. These counselors include Scoutmasters (SM), Assistant Scoutmasters (ASM), Committee Members, and other Registered Adults associated with our troop. Below is a list of merit badges available and the time periods during which they can be earned directly through Troop 23.
Merit Badges are integral to the scouting experience. They provide opportunities for personal growth, help scouts discover new interests, and develop valuable life skills. Merit Badges also play a crucial role in rank advancements, particularly for the higher ranks such as Star, Life, and Eagle.
