Friends of Scouting
2012 Friends of Scouting Campaign
Life Skills isn’t one of the 127 merit badges currently offered by the Boy Scouts of America, but Life Skills are what young people take away from earning any Scout badge!
Badges have been an integral part of the Scouting program since the start and are still an important part of the uniform and insignia of the Boy Scouts – each badge exists to encourage Scouts to explore areas that interest them and to teach them valuable skills. Many times, these experiences lead to careers and lifelong hobbies.
Periodically the Scouts change the design, name, and availability of badges depending on their popularity, shifts in the focus of the program, and changes in society. In an ever-changing world, Scouting continues to maintain its relevance!
