Millions of boys over the past 92 years have experienced the Scouting program. The Boy Scout program focuses upon delivering knowledge through rank advancement. There are six ranks for Boy Scouts: Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle Scout. Levels of leadership and character are learned through advancement in the program.

Boy Scouts can learn about sports, crafts, science, trades, business and future careers as they earn these merit badges. There are more than 100 merit badges. Any Boy Scout may earn any merit badge at any time. They don't need to have had rank advancement to be eligible.
