Boy Scouts

There isn't a site that has them filled in, that defeats the purpose. However, if you purchase the merit badge pamphlets from the BSA, most (if not all) of the answers are contained within those pages. Merit Badges are some of the most rewarding aspects of Scouting, enjoy them while you can.

Best of Luck!

Different person answering: Yes!but only if you are a hard worker and workready well u should join =)

The BSA states:

The hand-to-forehead salute is correct for flag ceremonies for any person wearing a uniform of the Boy Scouts of America. This includes those wearing the blue blazer dress uniform. The hand-over-heart salute should be used when not in uniform.

Many units have an activity uniform consisting of a t-shirt.

The BSA discourages the use of the military terms Class A and Class B and prefers the terms official uniform and activity uniform.

E. Urner Goodman.

Goodman was a Scoutmaster in Philadelphia who, in 1915, had agreed to take the job of camp director of the Philadelphia Council's scout camp,Treasure Island. He wanted to teach the scouts that scouting involved more than just learning outdoors skills and so came up with the idea of having them elect peers who best exemplified scouting's values.

With the help of his assistant camp director, Carroll A. Edison, they researched local indian lore and decided on the concept of an indian lodge for the new group to join. They wanted dramatic ceremonies that would leave a lasting impression and so patterned them after both local indian traditions with some elements of Masonic rites (both men were Masons).

Their idea was popular and spread quickly. By 1921 the first national gathering was held.

I doubt you will be able to get a clear answer on that. Part of the problem is that the requirements for Eagle Scout have changed over the years. When the rank was first invented there was no Star ot Life ranks and all Eagle required was to have your first class and then earn 21 merit badges.

For example, the BSA was incorporated in 1910 and by 1912 the first Eagle (by Arthur Eldred) had been awarded. The BSA had not even gotten around to designing the award yet!

Over the years the joining ages have changed, the ranks and their requirements have changed, and the process of getting the Eagle have changed which all will make it hard to compare things over time.

That depend son the Scout and the weather. Nudity would generally not be acceptable as it might make other tent mates uncomfortable. Otherwise, underwear or shorts are fine in warm weather. Dry long johns or "sweats" are often worn when it is colder.

Boy Scouts of America is often abbreviated BSA.

About 2% of scouts make Eagle Scout

It simply means that Scouts should work to pay for the costs of Scouting as opposed to having a parent/guardian write a check every time they do something. Many Scout Troops will have fundraisers to help pay for the cost of Scouting. A Scout should also carefully consider what he needs, or doesn't need, to participate. This helps keep the cost of Scouting low enough that he can afford it.

For your child - no.

For an adult volunteer - Yes. Also you uniforms, mileage (rate is lower than business miles).

There was no boy scout in UP. He was some off brand and his name was Russle.

The success of scouting started with the city kids. The youths who lived in the country knew what berries and fruits could be eaten as that was a part of their life, harvesting thing to help fill the pantry. A country boy knew how to clean fish and game as well as how to use an ax in chopping firewood. Country kids also milked cows, tended to chickens and worked a garden. As scouting moved into the country the youths who lived there learned about the stars, map reading, semaphore flags, and things that were not a standard part of their lives. But the great thing was when the city youths and the country youths got together. The scout leaders could stand and observe as the youths took up the teaching of skills they had already learned and mastered. There are many stories of former scouts using their learned skills to survive in both WW I and WWII.

That will depend a lot on what you consider a badge.

There are 6 rank badges - Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos and Arrow of Light.

In the Wolf and Bear years arrow points can be earned for doing electives. Any number can be earned but earning more than 7 or 8 is not common.

There are 53 belt loops and 53 corresponding pins.

In the Webelos years there are 20 activity badges and the compass points emblem and 3 pins.

There are also numerous other awards such as the Summertime Activity Award, the Outdoor Activity Award, the Cub Scout World Conservation Award, the Leave No Trace award and religious emblems.

There are also other special patches and badges that can be earned through different programs and activities.

The swastika originated as a good luck or sun symbol used by Hindu, American Indian and other cultures thousands of years before it was corrupted by the Nazis.

The Excelsior Shoe Company was a supplier of official shoes to the Boy Scouts of America and issued a token with each pair.[linked] The copper token has a Boy Scout on a horse on the front and a large swastika with other luck symbols. A sterling silver version was given to the Scoutmaster when all his Scouts were shod with Excelsior Shoes.

The Boy Scout Association in the UK issued a Thanks Badge in 1911 that incorporated the swastika. Uses of the swastika in Scouting ceased with the rise of the Nazi Party and the advent of Word War II.

A price for the shoe token is difficult to determine without knowing the condition. The copper versions are not particularly rare and start at $10 to $20 on eBay.

The Eagle Scout neckerchief is an optional item that further recognizes the award. It is generally only worn at Eagle Scout ceremonies.

The Boy Scouts. (They are now called just Scouts, and they allow both boys and girls in)

yes the ranks are scout,tenderfoot,2nd class,1st class,star,life,eagle

Yes Scouts salute, but not for rank. Generally a scout would only use the scout salute as part of a ceremony and then it would be by job title not by rank. Most often the Scout salute is used for the American flag.

Yes they can.

It varies for each individual Pack. National dues are $15 per year. Packs will also charge for advancement (badges, etc), supplies, trips, and other items. They may have families pay some or all of this out of pocket, or they may offset some or all of it with fundraisers like popcorn.
