| Note: Pamphlets 
              are reprinted and updated by BSA when needed but requirements do 
              not always change.  The dates shown here are for the last 
              change in the actual requirements for the Merit Badge and when the 
              pamphlets have been revised.  If your Merit Badge pamphlet is 
              more recent than the date shown here,  the requirements in 
              your pamphlet are up to date, even though there may be more recent 
              printings.    While it is desirable to always have 
              the most recent pamphlet, you can quickly check here to see if the 
              requirements portion is current.  When working on Merit 
              Badges, always use as many different resources as possible to 
              broaden your knowledge.  Don't limit yourself to just the 
              Merit Badge pamphlet for information. |
