In addition, First Aid was required for Life Scout from 1918 to 1972 and for First Class from 1972 to 1989. Also note that though the Swimming merit badge was not required until 1952, it was a prerequisite for the Lifesaving Merit Badge from the 1920s to the 1990s. Eagle has required a total of 21 merit badges from 1911 to 1972 and since 1978 (from 1972 to 1978, it required 24) |

Looking at revision dates, I think there was a lot of confusion between requirement dates and pamphlet dates, so I added the column on pamphlets. The BSA just added a list of pamphlets, so I went with those dates. In fact, the BSA site now has listings for all of the Boy Scout requirements. The table is now sortable- just click on the icon in the top row. --Gadget850 (Ed) 10:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See Help:Sorting for more info on sorting. Full dates need special formatting. --Gadget850 (Ed) 12:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If we are going to start noting the merit badges formerly required for Eagle, there are going to be a lot of notes. For example, Cooking, Bird Study, Pioneering, Athletics, Nature, Soil and Water Conservation, Safety and more were all once required. The scope of the article is on the current requirements. --Gadget850 (Ed) 13:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some merit badges have two images. Aviation, Journalism, Nuclear Science and Railroading looks like they have both an older and a redesigned badge; Cycling, Family Life, Safety and Sports have images with the green border and with the silver border. Again, within the scope of this article, these should use the current images. --Gadget850 (Ed) 13:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As noted at WT:SCOUT#Image use, we should not use images in lists. We don't have articles on most of these badges, so we don't have anywhere to use these images. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 11:11, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
[1], a story I noticed in the Chicago Tribune about "LINCOLN PARK, Mich. - An 18-year-old from Lincoln Park is being honored for earning all of the Boy Scouts' 121 merit badges." The article claims he's the first to do so since the Scouts founding in 1910. Thought someone might want to add this somehow.Heironymous Rowe (talk) 03:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to propose moving Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America)] to List of merit badges in the Boy Scouts of America and History of merit badges (Boy Scouts of America)tomerit badges in the Boy Scouts of America. I think these titles are more typical for Wikipedia and are more on-topic. Tuf-Kat (talk) 22:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How about coloring the boxes for required MBs in silver?Purplebackpack89 (talk) 00:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On the color— the Manual of Style says not to use colored text. How about we highligh the row:

Somewhere, do we want to mention the progression of Eagle required Merit badges? Somewhere along the lines of:
The following merit badges have been required for Eagle at one time or another:
From 1952 to 1965 several groupings of required merit badges were required for Eagle. These included:
In addition, First Aid was required for Life Scout from 1918 to 1972 and for First Class from 1972 to 1989. Also note that though the Swimming merit badge was not required until 1952, it was a prerequisite for the Lifesaving Merit Badge from the 1920s to the 1990s. Eagle has required a total of 21 merit badges from 1911 to 1972 and since 1978 (from 1972 to 1978, it required 24)
