Revision as of 21:53, October 30, 2011

MeritBadge.Org offers thousands of pages of Scouting-related material in 58 languages!
Please let others in your unit and council know that we have resources for the 500,000 Scouts and their families who do not speak English as their primary (native) language.

Alternatively, you can also change this page to their language and then print it as an invitation.

Usage

Just click the "Languages" link in the "sidebar" (to the left) then click on your language, such as Spanish (Español) to view the website in that language!

You can also print worksheets for Merit Badges, Webelos Pins, and Cub Scout Belt Loops. Graphics (i.e., images) will not shown but most of the page layout is preserved.

Disclaimers

Please remember that, per our own Disclaimers (POLICY), "MeritBadge.org is an online, open-content, collaborative encyclopedia developed by volunteers and is not affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) or with the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM)."

Additionally, the use of statistical machine translation (via Google Translate) cannot possibly guarantee literal accuracy and is in no way formal or official content.

So, while the translation service offered is not perfect, it's still a great tool for those whose native language is not English.

History

Since 2002, the BSA has offered 12 pages of materials in Spanish: http://www.scoutingvalelapena.org/. Five hanbooks were translated into Spanish: Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and "Mini" Boy Scout Handbook as well as some fliers.
