It’s time to LEVEL UP. 🎮⬆️

Introducing Scouting America’s Competitive Merit Badge!
 
Scouts can now explore the world of gaming and esports while building skills in:
 
🤝 Teamwork
🧠 Strategy
🗣️ Communication
🏆 Sportsmanship
🔒 Online safety
⚖️ Healthy gaming habits
💼 Career exploration
⚜️ Living the Scout Oath and Scout Law online and offline
 
The release of the Competitive Gaming Merit Badge is a big deal – and, through the #ScoutsBSA Test Lab, youth had a direct role in testing it out prior to this launch. Its release stands testament to something #ScoutingAmerica programs do best: meet young people where their interests are and help them turn those interests into skills, character and opportunities for the future.
 
For all the details, check out www.ScoutingNewsroom.org for the full press release (link in bio). To get started earning the badge, click the link in our bio to access the Competitive Merit Badge Digital Resource Guide online, for free, now.
