Below is Troop 356’s current inventory (as of May 2024) of books that scouts and leaders can check out. To check out an item, contact your Troop Librarian.
Note: Merit badge pamphlets that are NOT the current edition (marked with an “N”) are just one version behind the current version, and we have included in the booklet a copy of the current requirements so you can compare. In most cases the difference between the current edition and the previous edition are minimal, so the older booklets are still useful for completing the merit badge.
You can always purchase the latest version of any merit badge booklet on Amazon Kindle.
