Can you please update the Canoeing Merit Badge. There are 3 entries in TT. Which ones should we use? 2024? Thanks!
The following Eagle Required Merit Badges have updates effective January 2025. Please review all requirements and not just the ones that changed in order to make sure TT matches the 2025 version. I know it is a lot. Thanks so much.

The following non-Eagle Required Merit Badges have updates effective January 2025. I included the requirements that changed from the previous version as it may help with prioritizing the huge volume. However, I would request that all requirements be reviewed when updating as some merit badges have also changed in 2024 & 2023. Meaning the current TT version maybe several versions old. Thanks so much!

Did you ever get the PDF version that you need to the new AHG Stars and Stripes Requirements? We are all patiently waiting for the updated Achievement 
The existing award is mostly the same with only changes to the required badges. These can be found on page 41 of the 75 page document. I would be happy to email the pdf as I’m not seeing a way to upload here.
Hi. It looks like Out of this World wasn’t added yet. The requirements are here: Out of This World | Boy Scouts of America. Thanks!
@KimLadzinske1,
I will bring this to the TT admins however the Canoeing (2024) Merit Badge is not in bold as an Eagle required MB.
I am not getting your point. It is showing up in the count of eagles completed and bold in the list and on rank pages. Are you suggesting I change all of the earned Canoeing MB to the 2024 version badge?
No, don’t change the all ready earned just going forward make sure to use the new one that is properly set.
Got it. Are you saying the Canoeing MB 2024 is the most current? I am confused because usually the MB without a date is the most current. See attached examples
I believe it is, would need to double check the requirements to verify.
Hello! In reviewing the Girl Scout Daisy Petals and their requirements I noticed that they do not match up with the current guidelines listed in the Volunteer Toolkit that GSUSA puts out with badge requirements. I will post screenshots of the way they are currently listed in 2 posts.
