About MeritBadgeCourses.com

MeritBadgeCourses.com is a program of Bridge To Eagle, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality learning opportunities that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

We specialize in online merit badge classes that give Scouts across the country access to experienced, approved merit badge counselors, no matter where they live.

​

Our goal is simple: to make merit badge opportunities more accessible for Scouts everywhere.

 

Many Scouts face challenges finding available counselors, attending local classes, or fitting merit badge work into busy schedules.

MeritBadgeCourses.com removes those barriers by offering live, instructor-led virtual merit badge classes that are structured, engaging, and aligned with Scouting America requirements.

 

We are not about making merit badges easier.
We are about making them more accessible, more flexible, and more available—while maintaining the integrity and standards of Scouting America.
