Many merit badge updates became effective January 01, 2025. Both Scoutbook and on the online Merit Badge Hub (https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/) have been updated.
The last rank changes were in 2024. Scouts may continue using the existing requirements for the rank on which they are currently working, but must use the new requirements once they advance to their next rank.
Scouts who want to advance at the next Court of Honor must submit their Advancement Application to Mr. Keller by the set deadline.
Email Mr. Keller at dkeller@san.rr.com with advancement questions.
