Earn your Engineering Merit Badge Online
The SAFER-Sim grant which had funded the administration of this effort ends at the end of September, so please make every effort to complete the requirement before then. Unfortunately we do not plan to continue to offer the Engineering Badge past September 20th; however Dr. Brown will still finish as the Merit Badge Counselor for those who start before the September 24th online session. We are working on options to transition this online resource to another group, so please check back for more details here on how to earn the Engineering Merit Badge.
Thank you for your interest in the Engineering Merit Badge. This online resource will present all the information needed to earn the merit badge.
The future is now! Whether it is improving personal electronics, developing health care solutions, creating automated vehicles, protecting the environment or sending people to Mars, engineers are using math and science to create a better tomorrow. Earning the Engineering Merit Badge will give Scouts a better understanding of how engineers work and how to apply the engineering process to daily problems.
