Merit Badge Counselors Needed for Historical Merit Badges
In honor of the BSA’s 100th Anniversary today’s generation of Scouts will get the unique opportunity to experience some of the activities their predecessors enjoyed. That’s possible thanks to the BSA’s new Historical Merit Badge Program, a set of four discontinued merit badges that today’s Scouts can earn.
Boys can earn any or all of these merit badges:
Signaling
- First offered in 1910 and discontinued in 1992.
- Sample requirements: build a simple buzzer or blinker capable of sending Morse code messages, and send a message of at least 35 words; send and receive messages using semaphore flags at a rate of at least 30 letters per minute.
Tracking
- First offered in 1911 (as Stalker merit badge) and discontinued in 1952.
- Sample requirements: recognize the tracks of 10 different animals; give evidence to show you have tracked at least two different kinds of birds or animals, documenting their speed and direction.
Pathfinding
- First offered in 1911 and discontinued in 1952.
- Sample requirements: be able to guide people to important places within a three-mile radius of your home; submit a scale map of your community.
Carpentry
- First offered in 1911 and discontinued in 1952.
- Sample requirements: demonstrate the use of tools, such as a miter and bevel; build a simple piece of furniture for use at home.
This opportunity ends for the boys on Dec. 31, 2010 and the merit badges WILL count toward rank advancement. If you feel qualified to teach these badges or know someone who is, please consider becoming a merit badge counselor. Contact
Rob Sloop for additional details on requirements and becoming a counselor.
