SEARCH AND RESCUE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MERIT BADGE SERIES “Enhancing our youths’ competitive edge through merit badges”
While doing the requirements for the Search and Rescue merit badge, Scouts learn to safely participate in a SAR mission. They familiarize themselves with the terminology involved and the command structure. Scouts explore the differences between wilderness, urban, and water search and rescue missions.
Assisting the lost and confused is the aim of the Search and Rescue merit badge, one of the newest merit badges. Developed by SAR professionals and Philmont Scout Ranch veterans, the badge shows Scouts how to find search subjects, bring them to safety and avoid becoming lost themselves.
