The table below lists sources for virtual merit badge opportunities that your scout may want to take advantage of.  If interested, the scout should let the Scoutmaster know which merit badge(s) they will be taking.  In addition to the below table, third-parties are updating this Google Calendar with virtual merit badge classes.

​

Keep in mind that many merit badges have Merit Badge Counselors (MBC) within the troop (including all Eagle-required merit badges) and council, and there is no charge to use a local MBC.  You can search for an MBC for a particular merit badge in Scoutbook, or contact the Scoutmaster for assistance.

​

Please Note:  For Troop 44, Eagle-required merit badges must be earned in-person (no virtual Eagle-required merit badges).  Approved venues include summer camps, scout merit badge colleges, troop meetings, or other arrangements made with local merit badge counselors.
