What Elective Merit Badges Should You Earn? | My Fun, Interesting, and Useful Favorites

If you're considering what elective merit badges to earn next as a BSA Scout, look no further! In this video, I'll be sharing with you some of my favorite badges that you and your troop could start earning ASAP. Most of these are knowledge-requirement-heavy, so they're great ways to explore incredibly interesting or useful fields of study. Hope one of these will be the next badge going on your sash! 😄

Hey Man, I would like to see if you could start creating Q&A live streams? I know that this might be a tall order but I think me as well as others would appreciate being able to pop in and ask questions to someone who has the experience in scouting. Let me know what you think.

That’s a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion, Mikey. I’ll look into setting something up. Currently, most topics I cover are requests from Scouts in my newsletter, but a live Q&A would def be useful. Anything I can answer for you in the meantime tho?
