Merit badges are more than advancement. They open doors to new skills, confidence, and real-world learning.

To enhance that experience, Scouting America has introduced new digital resource guides. These free online tools complement traditional merit badge pamphlets with videos, downloadable resources, and interactive content designed to meet Scouts where they are.

From Aviation to Communication, these guides make learning more engaging and accessible by allowing Scouts to watch, read, and explore topics in different ways. They also give merit badge counselors new tools to connect with Scouts and enrich instruction.

With more guides on the way, this is a strong step forward in modernizing how Scouts learn, grow, and prepare for the future.

Please read the most recent message from Roger Krone, Chief Scout Executive, President and CEO of Scouting America, concerning today's announcement from the Department of War.

Congratulations to retired Navy Captain Royce Williams, an Eagle Scout and naval aviator, who received the Medal of Honor last night during the State of the Union address in recognition of his extraordinary heroism during the Korean War. In a 1952 air battle, Williams shot down four Russian MiG-15s in a 35-minute dogfight, an achievement unmatched at the time and still rare in the jet age. The engagement remained classified for decades, and Williams did not speak publicly about it until records were later declassified.

President Trump had informed Williams in advance by phone that he would receive the nation’s highest military honor. Now more than 100 years old, Williams expressed deep gratitude as the medal was presented during the annual address to Congress.

Legislation included in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act removed the statutory time limits that had previously prevented the award, clearing the way for the president to bestow the Medal of Honor during Williams’ lifetime.

A Scout is Brave. A Scout is Trustworthy. A Scout is Royce Williams.

As the Seahawks take the field in Super Bowl LX, one player carries more than the football: Eric Saubert is the only Eagle Scout on a Super Bowl roster this year.

From Scout campouts to the biggest stage in football, Saubert credits Scouting with shaping his leadership, teamwork and character.
