STAR, LIFE, AND EAGLE SCOUT

EARN MERIT BADGES

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks ask that you earn merit badges. Some, including First Aid, Family Life, and Camping, come from a list of required badges that round out the skills expected of every Eagle Scout. The others may be chosen from more than a hundred merit badges that allow you to explore subjects from Astronomy to Woodwork, and from Backpacking to Canoeing. For more information on merit badges, turn to chapter 7, "Merit Badges," begin- ning on page 185
