Grand Teton Council Merit Badge Workshop Program

What is a Merit Badge?

Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America based on activities within a specific area of study. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts the opportunity to explore, learn, and develop life skills, and self-confidence by achieving goals. With over 100 merit badges offered, from Business to Science and Sports, Scouts can increase their skill and knowledge to help them in their educational pursuits and also gain insight into various careers or avocations.

Scouts learn leadership, to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
