This weekend Troop 9 went on our annual spring trout fishing trip. This time we chose to go back to Shavers Fork, staying at the Stonecoal Dispersed Campground. We fished, we turned over rocks, found lots of critters, and we just had a great time.

The two newest merit badges.

Scouting is stepping boldly into the digital age with the release of its two newest merit badges — Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity — now available for Scouts to begin earning!

🔹 Artificial Intelligence Merit Badge
This exciting new badge introduces Scouts to the rapidly evolving world of AI. Scouts will explore how AI systems work, where they're used in everyday life, and the ethical responsibilities tied to their development and use. From machine learning to real-world applications, this badge challenges Scouts to think critically about technology's future — and their role in shaping it.

🔹 Cybersecurity Merit Badge
Focused on digital safety and responsibility, the Cybersecurity badge equips Scouts with essential skills to navigate today’s online world securely. Scouts will learn about protecting personal data, identifying cyber threats, and understanding how to be safe and smart in a connected world.

These new merit badges reinforce Scouting’s mission to prepare youth with the knowledge and skills they need for the future.
