Merit badges allow Scouts to learn about sports, crafts, science, trades, business, and future careers. They allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation. There are a total of 138 merit badges to choose from. Scouts need to accumulate at least 21 merit badges before earning the Eagle Scout rank. Of those 21 badges, 14 are Eagle-required merit badges and the rest can be any badges not used for these 14.
