Rank Advancement - What to Know for Starters

How to Earn a Merit Badge

When you get to the point where you need to concentrate on earning a specific Merit Badge, the Scoutorama website has a wonderful compilation of most of the available badges, their requirements and a worksheet to help along the path to the completion of each. Note that there is an asterisk next to those badges that are required for Eagle rank.

There have been some minor changes in the 2nd Class rank requirements. Here is a list of the new requirements.
