Task · part of 4. A jamboree, the museum, or an exhibit. Do ONE

4(c). A Scouting exhibit, history gallery or historian

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 4: jamboree, museum or exhibit?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Visit an exhibit of Scouting memorabilia or a local museum with a Scouting history gallery, or a recognized Scouting historian or memorabilia collector in your council. Learn about the history of Scouting America, then give a short report to your counselor.

Note. The historian or collector route has its own condition: "with your parent or guardian's permission and counselor's approval". The exhibit or museum gallery route does not state one.

Where this step comes from

  1. Scouting Heritage Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 4(c) · Allows a visit with a Scouting historian or memorabilia collector "with your parent or guardian's permission and counselor's approval".
