STEP INTO THE TEST LAB! 🥼

The Scouts BSA Test Lab is an exciting way to help in the development of fun and interesting new topics unique to the Scouts BSA program. The requirements for each badge have the look and feel of merit badges, but instead of a printed pamphlet, you will find links to digital resources to help you complete the requirements.

You must work with a registered adult volunteer of your choosing. After completion of all requirements, you must take a short survey which will lead you to a certificate of completion.

If enough surveys show Scouts enjoyed these potential new badges, we hope to introduce them as official merit badges in the future. If you complete a Test Lab badge and it becomes an official merit badge, you will be credited with having earned that badge!

More info can be found at https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/test-lab/

Note: all but Sewing @ Needlework are being offered at University of Scouting at Purdue University presented by IU Health! We are working on that one!
