Scouts are responsible for requesting and completing a Merit Badge as follows:

To sign up for a Merit Badge

Review the Merit Badge information and confirm that you meet the prerequisites (age, rank, skills, etc.) to take the class.
Check with your parents and your calendar that the merit badge dates and locations work for your schedule.
Email your Assistant Scoutmaster (cc your parents) to ask for permission to take the Merit Badge class; your ASM will enroll you in Scoutbook online.
If approved, sign up for the Merit Badge class on the calendar event on our website. If Scouts who sign up exceed capacity, we'll manage a wait list using the time you signed up.

To review the Merit Badge requirements

Ask one of our Librarians to borrow the correct Merit Badge book. Here's a list.

Hi Scouts and Parents,

Troop 764 is now using Scoutbook to track our Scouts' rank advancements, achievements, and merit badges. We have received many questions about access to our website and Scoutbook. Please refer to the information below, which covers both Scouts and Parents. Thank you!

Troop 764 Website

All Scouts and Parents have login access to our website, https://www.troop764.com
All Scouts and many parents have an official BSA ID number, which you can view by logging onto our website and clicking on "My Profile". If you have an ID, it will appear at the bottom of your contact card.
All Scout Leaders and Patrol Leaders have access to add events to our calendar (instructions).

Scoutbook - Scouts (except Venturing Crew)

Troop 764 is now using Scoutbook at https://scoutbook.scouting.org/ to track all rank advancements and achievements (including merit badges).
All Scouts have a Troop 764 profile in Scoutbook that you should check for accuracy.
If you have already logged in to Scoutbook and are using it, congratulations!
If you haven't used Scoutbook before, please log in and start using it as follows.
First try to retrieve your account (if you do not remember your username or password or whether you even have a Scoutbook account):

Click the Login button and then the link "Forgot password or my.Scouting username"
Enter your email address and click "Send new password".
If the system does not recognize your email address, follow the steps in the next section to create a new account.

Enter your correct name, date of birth, and zip code. Click Next.
Scoutbook should show a popup window matching you to an existing record. If not, cancel and try again with another email if you have a different one. Check that the BSA ID is correct (the email may not be; you can correct it later).
If the match is correct, click the "Retrieve information" button. If not click "None of the above" to cancel the process - and let us know (Elton Doi at eltonmdoi@gmail.com).
