Automotive Maintenance and Traffic Safety Merit Badges

Come get your VROOM on! Join us at the Council office to earn Automotive Maintenance and Traffic Safety Merit Badges. You'll get hands-on experience on actual cars learning how to maintain them to keep our wheels in top shape.
While this Merit Badge is open to all Scouts BSA members, we encourage Scouts who are at or near driving age to participate.
Modern automobiles are important to many aspects of American life. Those who service automobiles must understand each principle, and how these principles interact to provide smooth, efficient performance. Owners of cars also benefit by understanding how their vehicles operate. This enables them to understand why certain periodic maintenance is required to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape.
Staying safe in traffic wherever you live is getting more difficult all the time, as more and more people take to the road. Earning the Traffic Safety merit badge and will give Scouts some crucial tools to stay safer, when driving a car on a highway, riding a bike across town, or jogging across a busy street.
