Merit Badges

 ℹ️  Before starting a merit badge on your own, be sure to reach out to a merit badge counselor. You can find our unit's merit badge counselors on our Leaders page; a scoutmaster or the unit advancement chair can help you if you are having issues finding a counselor.

The following spreadsheets contain links for the merit badge pages on the Scouting America website, plus links to handy workbooks, pamphlets, and other information. If you need additional help with the library materials, please reach out to the scout currently in the Troop Librarian position.

Physical copies of some merit badge books are available for purchase locally at the Occoneechee Council Scout Shop (off Atlantic Avenue, in Raleigh) or online at National Scout Shop. Digital copies of merit badge books can be purchased on Amazon for Kindle app and devices or through National Scout Shop. 

All Merit Badges

See Scouts BSA Merit Badges for additional information on other merit badges.

A full list of convenient workbooks for completing badges can be found at USScouts Merit Badge Workbooks.
