Since we are in the Halloween season let's talk about scary merit badges. Three required merit badges have earned the reputation of being Eagle Scout Slayer merit badges. All merit badges are difficult to some degree but these three required merit badges have extensive timed requirements. Many Life Scouts that don't schedule well find out that they are out of time when it comes to completing the requirements for Eagle Scout. Planning well and listening to the advice from your mentors will prevent most Scouts from running out of time. The Eagle Scout Slayer merit badges are Personal Fitness, Personal Management, and Family Life. Others could be an issue however these three have the reputation of making Life Scouts for life.

I am always surprised by scouts who don't know the process of starting a merit badge. [ ↖ MB Video ] scout leaders need to take the lead on this merit badge training. Scouts may have forgotten the process or just relied on the summer camp staff to do it for them.
