We are providing scouts the opportunity to further their journey towards becoming Eagle Scouts by giving them easier access to Scouting BSA merit badges.
All Merit Badge Counselors are registered with the Boy Scouts of America.
Meritbadgecourses.com is working in cooperation with the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council;
however, it is not being run by the Council.
Any scout in any council can attend these merit badge courses online. We follow youth protection requirements and two-deep leadership. We have trained YPT merit badge counselors.
Check out the full schedule of online merit badge classes at the bottom of the page.
