Merit Badges Requirements Library
Though intended as an aid to Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and qualified Venturers in meeting merit badge requirements, these pamphlets are of general interest and are made available by many schools and public libraries. The latest revision date of each pamphlet might not correspond with the copyright date shown below, because this list is corrected only once a year, in January. Any number of merit badge pamphlets may be revised throughout the year; others are simply reprinted until a revision becomes necessary.
If a Scout has already started working on a merit badge when a new edition for that pamphlet is introduced, he should continue to use the same merit badge pamphlet to earn the badge. He should fulfill the requirements listed in the pamphlet he was using when he began. In other words, the Scout need not start all over again with the new pamphlet and possibly revised requirements.

BSA Document # 33215, revised yearly |
Double check your requirements with the latest issue (by year) of the Boy Scout Requirements [year] handbook # 33215 to make absolutely sure you are using the latest requirements before you start to work on any given merit badge. |
CAUTION
The requirements for rank advancements, Eagle Palms, and merit badges are effective January 1, 2009 through December 2009.
The requirements listed in this book might not match those in the Boy Scout Handbook and the merit badge pamphlets because this publication is updated only on an annual basis. Any number of merit badge pamphlets may be revised throughout the year; other are simply reprinted until a revision becomes necessary.
The requirements in this book are the official requirements of the Boy Scouts of America. However, if a Scout has already started working on a merit badge when a new edition for that pamphlet is introduced, he should continue to use the same merit badge pamphlet to earn the badge. He should fulfill the requirements listed in the pamphlet he was using when he began. In other words, the Scout need not start all over again with the new pamphlet and possibly revised requirements.
