New First Class
Rank Requirements.
Beginning January 1, 2006 an additional requirement was added. Scouts beginning their
first class requirement work after this date must complete the new requirement. Scouts working on the first class requirements
prior to this date will have until June 30, 2006 to complete without the additional requirement.
The new requirement tests the candidate’s persuasive communication
skills and can help make Scouting available to more boys. It reads as follows:
“Tell someone who is eligible to join Boy Scouts, or an inactive
Boy Scout about your Troop’s activities. Invite him to a Troop outing, activity, service project or a meeting. Tell
him how to join or encourage the inactive to become active.”
The Boy Scout Handbook and 2006 Requirements Book will
be updated with this new detail.
List contains all of the 120 Merit Badges, arranged into 14
categories. Badges in BLUE are Electives; badges in RED
are Eagle Required; badges in GREEN are Eagle Required (pick one of these 3); badges in PURPLE are Eagle Required (pick one of these 2).
