2010 Historical Merit Badges


For the 100th Anniversary Celebration, four vintage merit badges are being released during the

Centennial Year only to give Boy Scouts the hands-on opportunity to experience the exciting past of

BSA. These merit badges closely resemble the original designs, however, they carry a shiny gold thread border to be immediately identifiable as a 2010 Historical Merit Badge. These badges, first offered in 1911, can be traced back to the origins of the BSA and the original merit badge requirements are used whenever possible. The badges are: Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signaller, Tracking.

All can be used towards rank advancement. The requirements are posted at www.scouting.org/100years and must be completed by December 31, 2010.
