10th Annual Aviation Merit Badge at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics

NOTICE: If you are looking to register for the "10th Annual Aviation Merit Badge at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics" event, you may have been accidentally (and incorrectly) directed by a third party (not us, or meritbadge.info) to register for this event here at MeritBadgeDotOrg. But, of course, that's not the case. MeritBadgeDotOrg, as you probably know, is a wiki.

Meritbadge.info is website designed and run by volunteer Scouters (just like us) that provides FREE registration services for Scouting-related events. Although not affiliated with the MeritBadge Networks, we certainly applaud them for their efforts. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 17:29, October 1, 2010 (EDT)

{{{imagesize}}} Sorry folks, MeritBadge.Net was temporarily down for a while today (thanks to our hosting provider).
We're back in service now. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 23:55, August 28, 2010 (EDT)

Bugling and Music Merit Badges

NOTICE: On June 2, 2010, Scouting Magazine's 'Cracker Barrel' (online blog) reported that the Bugling merit badge would be officially retired as of December 31, 2010; and, that the Music merit badge requirements would be modified (effective January 1, 2011) to include Bugling skills. (We further stated here, "Those wishing to earn Bugling need to obtain a Blue Card and begin working on it prior to December 31, 2010. In doing so, you may keep working on it –even after it has been retired– until you: A) complete the badge, or B) turn 18, whichever comes first. (You cannot start this badge after it has been retired.")

UPDATE: On August 4, 2010, Scouting Magazine's 'Cracker Barrel' (online blog) then reported that the National council's previous decision to retire Bugling has been rescinded. (As a result, though not specified, we are assuming that the Music merit badge requirements will also not change.) Editor's note: Music & Bugling will continue to share the same merit badge pamphlet.

{{{imagesize}}} Sorry folks, MeritBadge.Net was temporarily down... We exceeded our monthly bandwidth allocation.
We are looking into getting a little extra bump in bandwidth to get us through the end of the month; but, depending on our hosting provider, we may be down until just after midnight this coming Saturday, May 1st, when our bandwidth meter resets. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.—RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 17:11, April 29, 2010 (EDT)


Problem with MeritBadge.Net has been resolved. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 18:00, April 29, 2010 (EDT)

Updates coming

The wiki was backed up today... some administrative (MediaWiki) changes are coming soon, i.e., user rights, security, etc.

Call for editors

We'll also be pushing to add new and/or update changed recent BSA requirements information, which tends to be more and more around the beginning of each year. To that end, we will be recruiting additional/new:

  • wiki editors, which can be any BSA-registered adult Scouter and a registered member of MeritBadge.Net.
  • wiki Sysops, which can be any BSA-registered adult Scouter and a registered member of MeritBadge.Net (and meet the requirements for Sysops).

We need your help; so, if you are interested, you can contact me via this link: RWSmith
