Scouting America Merit Badges
(Formerly Boy Scouts of America)
A combination of activities at field school and scout-lead post-field school learning will meet the requirements for the merit badges listed below. Due to the volume of students at our programs, follow-up meetings (virtual or in person) will be required to be able to sign-off on the learning objectives for merit badges. Currently, the Academy has certified merit badge counselors who are able to assess the completion of these requirements.
Are there other badges or journeys that you are considering? Reach out to Executive Director, Sara Mueller, 570-245-8518 or smueller@wildlifeleadershipacademy.org, to discuss more!
