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:

---|---|---|---|---|
Bugling | 1911 | 2003 | 2008 | Bugle |
Camping | 1911 | 2005 | 2008 | Camping |

Looks like Bugling will be discontinued as of January 2011 with most of the requirements being merged into Music. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 21:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A few weeks ago, somebody sent me a press release about the Chess Merit Badge. One of my fellow scoutmasters confirmed it, and there is now a page about it on MeritBadge.com. Should we add it to the list? That would require replacing Robotics as newest merit badge with Chess Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 02:33, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
