Nitty Gritty Details

The U.S. Scouting Service Project maintains a nice website with a lot of Scouting information. In particular their Advancement area is complete and informative. Check it out to answer all of your detailed questions.

MeritBadge.com is another website that provides detailed information on individual merit badges. It includes links to online resources and "worksheets" that cover many of the requirements. Check with your merit badge counselor first to see if the information on these pages are acceptable to him or her.
