Keep an eye on E-Bay.  Search under "beekeeping."  You find frequent offers for merit badges and the merit badge books offered at auction.  Prices vary, of course.  I bought a merit badge book just for fun.

When I was a Boy Scout, I didn't have an interest in bees and consequently didn't work toward the beekeeping merit badge..  Likewise, I too, was disappointed they discontinued the merit badge of late.  Since attaining my Eagle rank under the "old system" of 21 merit badges, much has changed in the Boy Scouts.  Some of the changes have helped include more boys, some changes seemed to have watered down the heart of scouting--but that's an issue of this topic.

I would love to get some Boy Scouts involved in keeping bees.   But the headquarters won't know unless they hear from the grass roots.

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain the beekeeping merit badge
still. I have checked on many merit badge pages and have noticed that they
discontinued it two years ago. But, I want to know if you are still
allowed to receive it.



Does anyone have any badges that they could send to me? I will pay shipping
for them.
