New Merit Badges Coming Soon!

Cool New Merit Badges Coming Soon

One of the most exciting announcements is a brand-new AI Merit Badge, coming in the next month or so! We've partnered with Myridius and other industry experts to create a badge that covers AI basics, automation, ethics, deep fakes, career skills, and hands-on applications.

Scouts will get help from "Scoutly," our friendly AI chatbot, explicitly designed to assist with completing badge requirements. Scoutly is being tested with seven councils and will be ready by August 1st.

Additionally, we are developing a new Cybersecurity Merit Badge that we plan to launch later this summer. Stay tuned for additional details!

These new badges will feature digital resource guides rather than traditional pamphlets. These guides will include videos and interactive elements that resonate with today's youth while delivering the educational content we value.
