2026 Merit Badge Citizenship in the Nation
Event Details
Citizenship in the Nation
Merit Badge Series (America 250)
As Scouts work through the Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge, they will learn what it means to be active, informed citizens who value their rights and responsibilities. Scouts will explore how our government works, how to participate in it, and how to help protect the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
Join the W. D. Boyce Council as we celebrate America 250 with a goal of helping 250 Scouts earn this important Eagle-required merit badge!
