All merit badges are available to all scouts, but some may be difficult for younger scouts to complete at camp, our suggested experience appears. In addition, we have included a list of requirements that can not be completed at camp and a list of other items you may need to bring.
Keep in mind that Scouts may want to limit the number of merit badges requested, to allow time to enjoy other activities at camp.
