Citizenship in Society Merit Badge Counselor Training

On Nov 1st, the Boy Scouts of America has launched the Citizenship in Society merit badge, its newest merit badge for youth in the Scouts BSA program (one that will become Eagle-required starting July 1, 2022). The merit badge is focused on a journey of self-discovery concerning topics around diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how those discussions benefit society through the lens of the Scout Oath and Law.
