Training Tuesday — have you taken the NEW Safeguarding Youth Training yet?

Make sure you've taken it before Sunday, May 31, 2026, as that is when Youth Protection Training EXPIRES!

Youth Protection Training (YPT) has been replaced by the new Safeguarding Youth Training. This training is required for all Scouting America registered volunteers and is a joining requirement.

Scouting America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a leader in Scouting America is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult leaders.

Great news for Scouts and leaders! 🎉

Merit badge pamphlets are getting a modern upgrade.

Instead of printed requirement lists, each pamphlet will now include a QR code and URL that link directly to the latest requirements in the Merit Badge Hub on scouting.org. That means you will always have the most current information and resources right at your fingertips. 📲

Here is what to expect:

🆓 QR codes are now being added to free downloadable pamphlets
🏬 Newly printed pamphlets with QR codes will begin appearing in Scout Shops in 2026
🔄 Updates will continue as pamphlets are revised and reprinted over the next several years

Why the change?

🛠 Merit badge requirements are regularly reviewed and updated to stay current with technology, best practices, and current events.
📅 While many updates take effect each year on January 1, safety related changes can happen at any time.
✅ This new approach keeps the in-depth content and inspiration in the pamphlet aligned with the most up-to-date requirements, whether you are using a downloaded PDF or a printed copy.

A smart step forward to keep Scouting current, accurate, and accessible for everyone. 🧭

CNN covered the launch of two of Scouting America's newest merit badges -- Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Merit Badges. 🧠💻

A merit badge in Scouting is an award for mastering skills in over 135 subjects, from traditional camping and first aid to science, trades, and careers, helping Scouts explore interests, learn life skills, and advance in rank, including the Eagle Scout rank. Earned by completing requirements with a counselor, these patches represent proficiency and are worn on a sash with the uniform. ⚜️

Scouting America, the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts, is giving scouts the chance to earn two new merit badges: one in artificial intelligence and another in cybersecurity.
