Boy Scout Patches

Boy Scouts have to earn a certain number of Boy Scout patches to earn the next rank.  There are over 120 Boy Scout patches available, so Scouts have a huge range of subjects to explore in more detail.  In order to earn a Boy Scout patch, Scouts must met the requirements for that Boy Scout patch exactly.  This can be done by showing and demonstrating, making, listing, collecting, identifying, and labeling.  Boy Scout patches include a wide variety of subjects like archery, art, bird study, camping, climbing, dog care, environmental science, fire safety, metalwork, orienteering, swimming, weather, and wilderness survival.
