BSA Must Read: BSA Formally Launches Inventing Merit Badge
Recently, in Cambridge, MA the Boy Scouts of America, in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology formally launched the Inventing Merit Badge.
This new, exciting merit badge is now available for all Scouts to earn.
* Requirements are available at: http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Home/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges/mb-inventing.aspx
* The first printing of the merit badge pamphlet has been shipped to local council service centers. The NDC will be back in stock by the end of the month.
* The merit badge is set up in PAS as code 144.
As part of the development and pretesting of the Inventing merit badge, thirty-eight Scouts from six Boston area councils completed the merit badge requirements and were awarded their badges. Additionally two patent-holding Distinguished Eagle Scouts with connections to MIT were presented commemorative merit badges for their past inventive activities and ongoing support of Scouting.

Scouting promises you the great outdoors. As a Scout, you can learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the land.
You'll study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you. There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you have learned.
About UsThe Boy Scouts of America provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness. MORE >>
