+
-
 
+

+
-
 
+
-
* The original merit badge requirements will be used wherever possible. Exceptions will be made when current safety or social standards dictate. Adaptations can also be made for special needs Scouts.
+
-
 
+
-
* The merit badges will count for towards a boy’s rank advancement.
+
-
 
+
-

+
-
 
+
