Badge List

Here is a partial list of badges. Badges for learning a skill or making something should include instructions for earning the badge. (Generally, that's how a new badge becomes available - someone learns how to do/make something and teaches another scout if possible.)

This will likely never be a complete list. It will have the basic badges to become a Dolt Scout and form a troop, and some other general badges to give troops more ideas.

Note that these are loosely defined categories. Skill for learning or making usually (example: learning to make something for the troop, by making it). Activity generally for event-based badges or accomplishment not involving learning or building (example: attending a special troop event). Categories are subject to being misleading and/or wrong. That's ok.

Badges should not be awarded for past activies. Climbed Mt. Everest a few years back? Well, do it again AFTER becoming a Dolt Scout if you want that badge.
