Eagle Required merit badges

 Hey all. I'm back. Today we're I'm going to list all of the merit badges, as well as all of the ranks and awards in scouting. This will help further your knowledge of what's on the horizon for you in scouting. I'm also going to add in a ranking of how hard it is, one being the easiest and five being the hardest.

All right, let's start with the Eagle required badges. The first is camping. Camping is a fun merit badge to work on, especially with a group of friends. It takes quite a while though to get all of the days camping, but I'd give it a two. The next is Citizenship in the Community. I'm working on it right now, and it's a rather hard badge. It may not be the most exciting badge, but once you complete it you'll have an all new sense of accomplishment, so I'll give it a three. Next up is Citizenship in the nation. It's like the previous badge only harder. I'd give this and the next badge, Citizenship in the World, a four. Next in line is cycling. My buddy Jeff is working on it, he thinks it's fun. However, you have to take some very long bike rides, so I'd give it a four and a half. Next, Emergency Preparedness. You have to have the first aid badge first, so that could take a while. Otherwise, it isn't very hard, so I give it a two. Now on to Environmental science. You have to do a lot of research and a lot of experiments, so leave a bit of time open while you're working on it. I'd give it a three and a half. Next one is Family life. You have to make a chore chart for three months, so it will take a while. Otherwise, it's fairly simple. I give it a two.

Now, first aid. You can do it in a matter of a few hours, so it isn't that big a deal. I give it a one. Hiking is on the next. It's much like Cycling, only you get to take shorter trips. I'd give it a four. Now, Lifesaving. This involves a lot of swimming, as well as first aid knowledge. I give it a three. Next is personal fitness. I am completely against this badge's blatant invasion of privacy. It wants you to get a physical exam from your doctor and then talk about what your doctor told you to change. They should not have the right to do this and make it a required badge. Anyway, I'd
