Who can sign-off on merit badge requirements?

Merit Badge requirements may only be signed-off by a Merit Badge Counselor who has been registered with the Council for that Merit Badge.

Only adults of good character, age 18 or older, are approved to register as merit badge counselors. Merit badge counselors are expected to have the necessary skills and education to offer quality experiences in the badges they counsel. The intent is for Scouts to learn from those with an appropriate level of expertise.

It is important too, that potential counselors have a good rapport with unit leaders and Scout-age youth.

Instructions for registering as a Merit Badge Counselor can be found HERE.
